Description
A deliciously simple shrimp dish with a crunchy topping of garlic butter, panko, and Parmesan that brings a taste of the coast to your table.
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Toss until the shrimp are well-coated.
- Mix together panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and optional red pepper flakes in another bowl to make the crispy topping.
- Place the coated shrimp on the baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Sprinkle the panko topping evenly over the shrimp.
- Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink and the topping goldens.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve with lemon wedges for a bright finish.
Notes
For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the shrimp in the garlic butter mixture for 15-30 minutes before coating them with panko.
