Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, olive oil, and lemon zest. Stir well to combine.
Dip each shrimp into the melted garlic butter, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks. Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the shrimp with a pinch of salt and black pepper for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and the breadcrumb coating is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
