2 lbs of shrimp (peeled, veins removed)
09 -
2 tablespoons parsley (Italian flat-leaf), chopped for finishing
10 -
1/2 cup Parmesan, finely grated
# Instructions:

Set your oven to 400°F so it warms up. Mix the Parmesan into the shrimp marinade right in the same bowl.

Place the shrimp in an even layer on a 13x9 glass dish or baking sheet. Cook for about 8 minutes until the shrimp are firm, pink, and perfectly done.

Before serving, give it a light drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle on the fresh parsley for a pretty garnish.
