We all have our go-to dinners. The ones we turn to when we need something on the table in less than half an hour that we barely have to think about. Well, this my friends, needs to become one of those dinners for you. It couldn’t be easier and it couldn’t be more delicious either. It’s a quick baked method that turns out buttery, lemony, garlicky, CRISPY shrimp every time. So simple and just so very good – it’s a real winner.
Magic Crispy Baked Shrimp
Serves 4; 5 minutes prep, 25 minutes cook time
You start by putting a bit of butter and white wine in your baking dish and let it bubble in a hot oven for a few minutes to form a sauce.
FOR THE SHRIMP:
1 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and divided
Juice from one lemon
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
FOR THE TOPPING:
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Fresh parsley, finely chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Pour wine and 2 tablespoons melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking pan. Place in oven for 10 minutes to let sauce reduce.
Add remaining butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper to a bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat.
In a separate bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, and 2 tablespoons melted butter.
Remove baking dish from oven and spread out shrimp in a single layer, though they should fit snugly together.
Sprinkle with breadcrumb topping and bake until shrimp are opaque but still pink, 12 minutes.
Broil on high up to 2 minutes to encourage browning. Top with fresh parsley and serve. Enjoy!
