Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or any oven-safe dish large enough to hold the shrimp in a single layer.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the white wine, lemon juice, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Let it simmer gently for 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring each piece is coated with the sauce.
In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley, and lemon zest. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Serve immediately with crusty bread, pasta, or a side salad. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
