Lemon Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Recipe
An incredibly delicious dinner or appetizer recipe you will turn to time and again.
We always wolf down these shrimp every time I make them. And the bonus is that these take under 15 minutes to make – start to finish. The key step is to reserve 2/3 of the sauce before you coat the shrimp, to use as a dip later on. The dip is drinkable!
These are great as an appetizer or even better for dinner served with a nice and fluffy rice and steamed broccoli or asparagus. Super healthy, high in protein and low in carbs.

Hi Laurie, that’s awesome! I’m so glad the recipe resonates with you!
It was simple to put together but I wouldn’t make again. The flavors in the marinade/ dipping sauce were missing something and didn’t really meld, and the lemon dominated.

Did you use raw or pre cooked shrimp for this recipe?
HI Bill, raw shrimp here
Could you do this recipe with cooked prawns and in a fry pan ??
Hi Katie, you can cook this recipe with raw shrimp in a pan yes.
If you have cooked shrimp, simply make the sauce and coat the shrimp in them
this was very tasty however I felt like there was way too much oil. for my taste it was a little bit too much garlic but that’s just me. two tablespoons of oil might have been a good amount but a quarter cup is just Overkill.
Hi Jeanne, I appreciate you sharing your feedback with us! Thanks for trying the recipe too
Couldn’t agree more. That was definitely not a dipping sauce.
