Shrimps are just perfect ingredients to make up a quick brunch, dinner or snack any day.

But, for light brunch and supper, I think I have fallen in love with this low carb recipe of oven roasted shrimp which has a beautiful flavour of garlic and richness of parmesan cheese.
The first time I made them, these shrimps turned out uber delish.
They had this pleasing crunch and the minute I dunked them with ranch sauce, they went all tender and gooey.
