Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 lemon wedges (for serving)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with foil for easy cleanup.
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and Italian seasoning. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Let the shrimp sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Transfer the marinated shrimp to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the shrimp.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with a drizzle of olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) to lightly coat them. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the shrimp bake from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for extra tang. Pair with a side of rice, pasta, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
