Can I use pre-cooked shrimp?

You can , but I don’t recommend it. Pre-cooked shrimp can turn rubbery quickly in the oven. If that’s what you have, reduce roasting time to 2–4 minutes , just to warm and coat.

Can I substitute the Parmesan cheese?

Yes! If you don’t have Parmesan, try Pecorino Romano (saltier, sharper) or even grated Asiago . The flavor changes a bit, but it’s still delicious.

How do I store leftovers?

Place leftover Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days . Reheat gently (microwave in short bursts or warm in a skillet). Overheating will make them tough.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prep the shrimp (toss with oil, garlic, spices) a few hours ahead and refrigerate. Add Parmesan and parsley right before roasting for best texture.

What can I serve with it?

This shrimp loves pasta, rice bowls, salads, tacos, or even crusty bread. And yes—dipping bread into the garlicky pan juices is basically a required side dish.

Finely grated Parmesan works best for even coating.
