Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 5 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
- 1 Shallot (finely minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh tarragon (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Fresh breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 pinch Pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallot, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the parsley, tarragon, salt, black pepper, and cayenne, then remove the skillet from heat.
Add the fresh breadcrumbs into the butter mixture, stirring to coat evenly.
Add the dry white wine and lemon juice. Stir until the mixture has a uniform consistency.
Arrange the peeled and deveined shrimp in a single layer in a shallow baking dish.
Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp to completely cover them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete dish.
