Ingredients

Shrimp:

  • 1.5 lbs of Shrimp peeled & deveined
  • Chopped Parsley for garnish

Seasoning:

  • 2 tsp of Kosher Salt
  • 2 tsp of Black Pepper
  • 1.5 tsp of Garlic Powder
  • 1.5 tsp of Red Chili Flakes
  • 1 tsp of Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp of Dried Thyme
  • 1 Lemon zested & juiced
  • 1 tbsp of Canola Oil

Parmesan Crust:

  • 2.5 tbsp of Melted Butter
  • 2.5 tbsp of Grated Parmesan
  • 1.5 tbsp of Bread Crumbs or Panko Crumbs
  • 2 tsp of Garlic Paste

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill or wood fire oven to indirect cooking around 400F.
  • In a bowl add your shrimp along with the seasoning. Mix together thoroughly.
  • Add the shrimp onto a large skillet spread out enough so that they cook evenly.
  • In a bowl, add all the ingredients for the Parmesan Crust and mix. It should have a wet sand texture. Add more butter if too dry or more parmesan/breadcrumbs if too liquidy.
  • Add your skillet to the fire and cook for only 1-2 minutes or once the shrimp begin to slightly shift from translucent to white.
  • Once they are shifting, pull out and top with the parmesan crust. Spread out evenly over all the shrimp.
  • Increase the heat in the grill if possible, then add the shrimp back to the grill.
  • Cook for another 2-3 minutes until all the shrimp are fully cooked and the crust is golden brown. Pull out the skillet and let it rest.
  • Top the shrimp with chopped parsley and enjoy!
