Creamy Garlic Butter Baked Shrimp

•📝 Ingredients :

1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined

3 tbsp butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt & black pepper to taste

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

• 🍽️ How to Make It :

Preheat and Prepare

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

Season the Shrimp

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Arrange in a single layer in the baking dish. Season evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika for balanced flavor.

Make the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir well until fully blended.

Coat the Shrimp

Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the shrimp, making sure each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.

Add the Cream

Slowly pour heavy cream around and over the shrimp to create a rich, silky base for baking.

Add the Cheese Topping

Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the shrimp, then finish with Parmesan. This creates a melty layer with a lightly golden crust.

Bake Until Bubbly

Place dish in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until shrimp are pink, cooked through, and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Broil for Finish (Optional)

For a golden top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end until lightly browned. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Garnish and Serve

Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately while hot and creamy.
