Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1.5 cups breadcrumbs (preferably fresh)
- 2 tablespoons shallots (finely minced)
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 cup white wine (dry)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the breadcrumbs to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until evenly coated in butter and lightly toasted.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shallots, parsley, white wine, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Spread the peeled and deveined shrimp evenly in the prepared casserole dish.
Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring the shrimp are well-covered.
If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, alongside crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
