Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Step 2: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Step 3: Toss in the shrimp, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  5. Step 5: Carefully fill each cannelloni tube with the shrimp and cheese mixture.
  6. Step 6: Spread half of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Lay the filled cannelloni on top.
  7. Step 7: Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the cannelloni and sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan cheese.
  8. Step 8: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  9. Step 9: After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  10. Step 10: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
