📝 Preparation Steps

Prep: Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet (I used a silpat liner).

Pat dry shrimp with paper towels then butterfly using a sharp paring knife. Cut about halfway into the shrimp along the inside curved center of the shrimp then fan shrimp open and lay it cut-side-up on baking sheet.

Use a butter knife or basting brush to spread 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of mayo onto each shrimp.

Season shrimp with garlic powder and black pepper.

Garlic powder (to taste)Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)

Divide the cheese evenly over the shrimp and bake at 350˚F for ⏱️ 10-12 minutes, depending on size of shrimp. Butterflied shrimp cook quickly and if you overcook shrimp, they will toughen so remove 1 shrimp and test for doneness at ⏱️ 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy!
