Garlic Parmesan Shrimp uses the classic shake-and-bake technique for this crunchy shrimp that’s a grown-up version of popcorn shrimp: buttery, garlicky, and with notes of sharpness from the cheese. It’s even a bit healthier since it’s not deep-fried. Garlic Parmesan Shrimp tastes divine alongside some lemon-butter pasta or with risotto. Within 30 minutes, you’ll have a delicious dish to compete with any high-end restaurant.
