Shrimp got overcooked for me, and I think 8-10 minutes is a narrow window. I used smaller shrimp though, so maybe that’s on me. Sauce/flavor was good anyway.
Hmm, I guess this is ok? I thought it was gonna be more flavor. Kinda bland honestly. ⭐⭐
Bland? Nah, I thought it was pretty good. Maybe you didn’t use enough seasoning? 😕
I actually loved the flavor! Maybe try adding some lemon juice next time? It really makes a difference. 🍋
Pretty good, but I wish it had a sauce. After baking, it felt a bit dry. Maybe add some butter or more oil next time.
Shrimps! 😍
Yummy! Can’t wait to try this 😋
Looks good but shrimps are high in cholesterol, right?
Simple and quick! Perfect for a weeknight dinner. Thanks for sharing!
I put too much garlic and now it’s overwhelming. Less is more! Note taken.
Great recipe, went well at dinner but my friend said shrimp is bad for health. Not sure if I should make again.
I forgot to devein and it was… fine? I mean, texture wasn’t great, but flavor was there. Don’t be me, devain your shrimp lol.
This was soooo good!! I can’t believe how easy it was. I added some lemon juice at the end and it rocked! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’m glad you enjoyed it! The lemon juice is a great touch. I tried it too and it was heavenly! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Made this tonight and it was gone fast. The garlic + Parmesan combo is so good, and 9 minutes at 425°F was perfect for my shrimp.
Yesss—same here! I love that garlic + Parmesan combo and 9 minutes was spot on for me too. Definitely making this again.
Yum! Garlic and butter are da best! 👌 Next time more cheese, yes?
Absolutely! Cheese makes everything better! 😍 I can’t wait to try this with more cheese next time!
I dunno, more cheese could make it greasy. But garlic and butter are legit good, for sure! 🤷♂️
I thought it was ok. A bit too salty for my liking, maybe I added too much salt?
Too salty? I dunno, I love salt. Garlic and Parmesan make it yum! 🤤
I think the saltiness can vary! Maybe use less next time? But glad you gave it a shot!
I tried this recipe but it didn’t turn out like expected. Maybe my shrimp were too big? I dunno. 😕
Maybe your oven temp was off. Always check with an oven thermometer! But garlic and parmesan is hard to mess up. 😄
I had the same problem once! I think bigger shrimp can take longer to cook, so that might be it. Try cutting them in half next time?
Can I use frozen shrimp? I don’t have fresh on hand.
Garlic is life! I could eat this every day. Didn’t have shrimp so I used chicken instead. Still worked great! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tasty, but I’d cut the garlic a tiny bit next time. The flavor is bold (in a good way), just a little too punchy for me.
Totally agree—4 cloves can be a lot depending on the garlic (some are super punchy). I’ll try dropping it to 3 next time too. Glad the bold flavor still worked for you though!
I don’t really like shrimp, but I made this for my husband and he loved it. So I guess it’s good?
Soo good! My kids even ate it! Can I substitute with chicken?
Glad your kids loved it! You can definitely use chicken. Just make sure to cook it longer since chicken needs more time to cook through. Enjoy!
Why do people put cheese on shrimp? That just sounds wrong. I won’t be trying this. 👎
I’m skeptical about baking shrimp only 8-10 minutes… but wow, it worked. Pink and juicy—no rubbery disaster.
Shrimp and garlic, a winning combo! My family loved it. I used dried parsley ’cause that’s all I had. Still tasty! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is the best shrimp recipe ever. My whole family loved it!
Not bad, but I think it needs more cheese. 1/4 cup parmesan felt a little stingy for a whole pound of shrimp.
Perfect for a quick dinner! I served it with rice and it was a hit with the fam!
Quick dinner? Yeah right, this takes like ages! At least for me. 😂
Glad to hear it was a hit! Sounds delicious with rice. I might try that myself!
Made this tonight—super fast and the garlic-parmesan combo is legit. I added a squeeze of lemon at the end and it was even better. Shrimp stayed tender!
Yes! The lemon tip is genius—brightens the whole garlic-parm situation. Glad the shrimp stayed tender too.
This dish was amazing! The garlic and parmesan combo is fuego! 🍤🔥
I tried this recipe and it turned out so good! My whole family loved it. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Eh, it was alright. Not sure what the hype is about. Shrimp is just shrimp.
Not sure about the amount of garlic—4 cloves felt like a lot, but wow it balanced with the cheese. I’d keep it the same.
Not bad, but mine tasted kinda flat. Could’ve been because I’m stingy with salt 😅. Would love a version with more seasoning or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Made this tonight—so fast and super tasty. The garlic + parm combo is perfect, and the shrimp stayed tender.
I don’t know… I thought it would be better. Maybe my shrimp were old? They didn’t taste fresh at all.
Maybe try some fresher shrimp next time? I always get mine from a local market, they taste way better!
I beed confused on when to add the garlic. Do I cook it or just mix it raw in? 😅
Is shrimp even healthy? I feel like it can’t be good for ya 🤔
Made this tonight and it’s insanely good—garlic + parmesan is such a combo. I tossed the shrimp just for a minute or two so they stayed tender. Perfect cook time too (mine was closer to 9 minutes).
I made the recipe and thought it was easy and loved it. I look for recipes for something different to eat.
Didn’t turn out like the picture. Maybe my oven is too hot? Shrimp was rubbery. 🥴
I had the same issue last time! I think my oven runs hot too. Maybe try reducing the temp a bit and see if that helps? Good luck! 🔥
This recipe is amazing! The shrimp turned out so juicy and flavorful. Will definitely make again!
Used frozen shrimp, it was alright but freshness is best! Still tasty tho!
I totally agree! Fresh shrimp makes a lot of difference. But I guess frozen is a good backup when fresh isn’t available.
Well, I don’t know about that! I’ve used frozen shrimp before and it turned out fine. Maybe it’s just me.
This is basically cheating in the best way. I threw everything in a bowl and it felt like I’m some kind of chef.
Simple and tasty! I used pre-grated parm and it still worked. Next time I’ll add a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness.
Love this—simple but flavorful. I’ve been using pre-grated parm too and it does great. Lemon sounds like a perfect tweak for brightness!
I tried this but it was too garlicky for my taste. Might reduce the garlic next time.
I totally get that! Garlic can be really strong. Maybe just use 2 cloves next time?
Absolutely loved this recipe! The garlic and parmesan combo is just perfect. Will definitely make again!
Made this tonight—so fast and the garlic/parmesan combo is seriously addictive. My shrimp were perfectly pink at 9 minutes.
I added some red pepper flakes for a kick! Spicy and yummy!
Wow so good.
Right?? The garlic-parm combo is seriously addictive. I usually add a squeeze of lemon at the end too—makes it pop.
Not bad, but 1/4 cup parmesan felt a tad low? I like it extra cheesy. Next time I’ll bump it up and maybe add chili flakes for kick.
This is a quick & easy dish. Reminds me of the shrimp we had on a trip to Italy. Yum!
Parmesan helped a lot, but I added extra parsley and it kind of dominated. Garlic-lovers might like it.
Nah, this was too garlicky for me. I think 4 cloves is too much! Next time I will use less.
Yum!
Made this for a date night and wow, I was impressed! Lots of flavors! 😍
I dunno, garlic shrimp is okay, but I always find it kinda overrated. Just shrimp, ya know?
That sounds amazing! Definitely gonna try it for my next dinner too! 😋
Yum!
Shrimp cooked way too fast for me. I pulled them at 8 minutes and they were already overdone—oven temps vary, I guess.
I forgot the cheese but still worked out! What is parmesan anyway? 🤔
Simple and honestly pretty foolproof. I added a tiny squeeze of lemon at the end and it bumped the flavor a lot. Next time I might use a bit more parmesan because… why not?
Okay but where’s the spice? Needs some chili flakes or something! ⭐⭐⭐
I was worried 8–10 minutes would be too long, but it came out just right. Next time I’ll add a squeeze of lemon though.
Glad it worked out! I’ve done 9 minutes at 425°F and it’s perfect—any longer and mine can get rubbery. Lemon is a great idea though.
8–10 min seems kinda fast lol. I feel like my shrimp would still be raw. But lemon sounds good… did you squeeze it right on after baking? Also I used pre-grated parm once and it didn’t taste the same.
Flavor was good, but mine got a little watery on the pan. Maybe I overcrowded it—single layer is key.
Hmm mine came out kinda watery too. I didn’t overcrowd, but I think I maybe over-garlic’d? Also my parmesan clumped cuz I used the pre-shredded kind. Next time I’ll dry the shrimp more and use fresh grated parm.
Totally agree—if they’re too close together on the pan they’ll steam and turn watery instead of getting that nice coating. I started doing a true single layer on a preheated sheet and it helped a lot.
Just made this and it was so quick! Will definitely add it to my dinner rotation! 😊
Easy and delicious! My kids were asking for more. Never thought shrimp could be this simple! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’m glad you liked it! Shrimp is so versatile and easy to cook. What else do you enjoy making for your kids?
