Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb (454 grams) jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
Liquid and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and divided
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Coating and Garnish:
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Drizzle white wine and melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking pan, then warm the pan in the oven for 10 minutes to infuse flavors.
- Combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Thoroughly coat the shrimp in this aromatic mixture, ensuring each piece is well-seasoned.
- Create the crispy topping by blending panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until uniformly mixed.
- Remove the heated pan from the oven and carefully arrange shrimp in a single, uncrowded layer. Distribute the breadcrumb mixture evenly across the top of the shrimp.
- Bake for 12 minutes until shrimp turn pink and translucent. For an extra-golden crust, broil on high for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Extract the baking pan from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for an added burst of citrus flavor, creating a delectable seafood dish that’s crispy and full of zest.
Notes
- Ensure shrimp are completely dry before coating to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent soggy breadcrumbs.
- Swap panko for gluten-free breadcrumbs to make the recipe celiac-friendly and accommodating for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Position shrimp in a single layer without overcrowding to guarantee even browning and consistent cooking throughout the dish.
- Consider using fresh herbs like thyme or oregano in the breadcrumb mixture to add extra depth and aromatic complexity to the flavor profile.
