    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse, shell, and devein the shrimp leaving the tails on, then transfer to a bowl. Drizzle the shrimp with the olive oil, pressed garlic, lemon juice and zest, parsley, oregano, kosher salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  3. Pour the dried breadcrumbs into a shallow bowl. Gently shake off the extra marinade then lightly dredge each shrimp in the breadcrumbs and place in rows on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 4-5 minutes or until the shrimp are opaque in the center and the bread crumbs begin to brown. Serve warm with a squeeze of extra lemon if desired.

Notes

  • To cook garlic shrimp on the grill, preheat grill to medium heat. Thread the shrimp on skewers, bending the shrimp so the skewer slides through both the head and near the base of the tail to form a C shape. Grill the shrimp for 4-5 minutes with the lid closed, turning once, until the shrimp are opaque in the center and firm to the touch.
