Ingredients
Scale
Primary Proteins:
- 1 lb large shrimp
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¾ cup dry white wine
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Crunchy Topping:
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
Garnish and Serving:
- Fresh parsley
- Lemon wedges
- Bread or pasta
Instructions
- Warm your oven to a blazing 430°F, ensuring the rack sits in the middle position for even heating.
- Pour ¾ cup dry white wine and 2.5 tbsp unsalted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Let it melt and blend in the hot oven for 10 minutes.
- Toss 1 lb large shrimp with 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2.5 tbsp melted butter, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper until each shrimp glistens with seasoning.
- Create a crispy topping by stirring ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs, ¼ cup parmesan, ¼ tsp salt, and 1½ tbsp olive oil in a small mixing bowl until evenly combined.
- Remove the sizzling wine-butter mixture from the oven and carefully arrange shrimp in a single, neat layer across the dish.
- Sprinkle the prepared breadcrumb mixture generously over the shrimp, ensuring complete coverage.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for precisely 12 minutes at 430°F.
- Switch your oven to broil and brown the topping for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges and crusty bread for catching every delicious drop of sauce.
Notes
- Always use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture, ensuring they are completely thawed and patted dry before mixing with seasonings.
- The wine and butter base creates a rich, flavorful sauce that helps prevent the shrimp from drying out during baking.
- Spread the shrimp in a single layer to ensure even cooking and help each piece get that perfect golden-brown crust.
- For a low-carb version, swap panko breadcrumbs with almond flour or crushed pork rinds to maintain the crispy topping.
