Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Clean and de-vein shrimp if needed and rinse them in cold water. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel.
- In a casserole dish, combine butter, pressed garlic, lemon zest, minced sage, and salt. Place in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to melt.
- Once melted, take it out of the oven and whisk together. Add cleaned shrimp and mix well in the butter mixture. Spread evenly in the dish and return to the oven.

- Spread shaved Parmesan cheese over the top and serve with your favorite side dish or as an appetizer.
Notes
You can use frozen shrimp but ensure they are thawed and dried before use. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Do not reheat shrimp in the microwave; use a pan over medium heat instead.
