Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a large baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
Spread the peeled and deveined shrimp evenly in the baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, remaining tablespoon of olive oil, lemon zest, parsley, minced garlic, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the shrimp, ensuring an even layer across the top.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
If desired, turn on the broiler for the final 1–2 minutes to give the crumbs an extra crispy texture. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp.
