- Warm the oven to a toasty 400°F, creating an ideal roasting environment for the succulent shrimp.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, whisk together fragrant olive oil, pungent minced garlic, nutty Parmesan cheese, aromatic Italian seasoning, and a balanced blend of salt and pepper to form a luxurious coating.
- Gently introduce the shrimp into the seasoned mixture, carefully tumbling them until each morsel is generously embraced by the flavorful marinade.
- Select a rimmed baking sheet and meticulously spread the shrimp in a precise single layer, ensuring no overcrowding to promote even caramelization.
- Slide the prepared tray into the heated oven, allowing the shrimp to transform for 8-10 minutes, watching for their signature pink hue and delicate golden edges.

Notes
- Shrimp absorb incredible flavor when marinated directly in the garlic Parmesan mixture before roasting.
- Ensure baking sheet is lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
