Recipe for Garlic-Parmesan Shrimp with Roasted Garlic Dip
Ingredients for Garlic-Parmesan Shrimp:
1½ lbs. jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
3-4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/3 cup fresh parsley, minced
3 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 tsp. ground cumin
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1½ tbsp. lemon juice
Sea salt and black pepper
Ingredients for Roasted Garlic Dip:
1 large garlic head
½ cup sour cream
½ cup Greek yogurt
1 tsp. organic lemon zest
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
Sea salt and black pepper
Note: You will also need parchment paper.
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. To make the roasted garlic dip, slice a thin sliver from the head of garlic, just enough so the cloves are exposed. Drizzle the cloves with olive oil and place the whole bulb on a small piece of aluminum foil and wrap tightly.
Place in the preheated oven and roast for 40 minutes, or until the garlic is tender and creamy. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
3. While the garlic is cooling, prepare the garlic shrimp seasoning by combining the olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, ground cumin, and grated Parmesan cheese in a large glass, ceramic, or stainless steel bowl.
Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
4. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to combine. Transfer the seasoned shrimp to the prepared baking sheet and place in preheated oven to roast for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the shrimp are just firm and pink. Do not overcook.
5. While the shrimp is roasting, squeeze roasted garlic cloves into a blender. Add sour cream, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper, if using, and blend until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and transfer to a small serving bowl.
6. Remove the shrimp from the oven. Sprinkle with lemon juice and fresh parsley and then toss to combine. Serve immediately with the creamy roasted garlic dip.
