- Coat the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the bowl, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated with the marinade.
- Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Place the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Roast the Shrimp: Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they turn a light golden brown and pink.

Tips & Variations
- Add Some Heat: If you prefer a bit of spice, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Enhance the Flavor: For a richer, butterier taste, substitute some of the olive oil with melted butter.
- Cheese Swap: If you’re looking for a milder cheese option, Pecorino Romano can be used in place of Parmesan.
