The Shrimp Christmas Tree
Ingredients:
2 pounds of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 large green bell pepper
1 large red bell pepper
1 large yellow bell pepper
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat the shrimp in the marinade.
Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Cut the bell peppers into thin strips, about 1 inch in length.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs.
Sprinkle the mixture over the shrimp on the baking sheet.
Arrange the bell pepper strips on top of the shrimp, creating a Christmas tree shape.
Bake the shrimp for 10-12 minutes, or until they are pink and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

If you want to add an extra layer of flavor to your shrimp Christmas tree, consider serving it with a dip. Here's a simple recipe for a tasty dip that pairs perfectly with the shrimp:
