GARLIC PARMESAN SHRIMP BAKE

1. Preheat oven:
   Preheat to 200°C / 400°F. Lightly grease a baking dish.

2. Make the sauce:
   In a bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, heavy cream, Parmesan, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

3. Assemble:
   Arrange shrimp in a single layer in the baking dish. Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce evenly over the shrimp. Sprinkle mozzarella on top if using.

4. Bake:
   Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.

5. Broil (optional):
   For a golden top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end—watch closely!

6. Garnish & serve:
   Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
