  2. Place the coated shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Once all shrimp are on the baking sheet, bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through and the topping is golden and crispy.

Notes

For best results, use larger shrimp for more dramatic presentation. Fresh ingredients enhance flavor; avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator, or freeze for up to 3 months.
