Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until just opaque. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Stir in the panko breadcrumbs and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and toasted.
Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon zest.
Spoon the buttery breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp on the baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the breadcrumb topping is crisp and golden brown. Be sure to watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with extra chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
