Start by discussing the dish and its origins.

Get shrimp from the local grocery store, ensuring they are fresh and peeled with tails on.

Peel the garlic and use a garlic press to mince it, adding it to a bowl.

Add 4 cloves of minced garlic to the bowl.

Add 6 tablespoons of butter to the bowl, ensuring it is soft for mashing.

Add crushed red pepper flakes to the bowl.

Chop fresh parsley and add it to the bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of cheese to the mixture, noting that a heaping amount is okay.

Mash the butter and other ingredients together until well combined.

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Place the shrimp on a baking sheet and pour the buttery mixture over each shrimp, ensuring each one gets some attention.

Bake the shrimp in the oven for 7 minutes.

After 7 minutes, turn on the broiler and put the shrimp back in for an additional 2 minutes.

Remove the shrimp from the oven and serve with sliced baguette, Caesar salad, lemon wedges, and pasta.
