Crispy Baked Shrimp in Lemon Butter Sauce (Prawns)
Report
Recipe video above. People call this Magic Baked Shrimp - named as such because it's so simple to make, yet it tastes like a million bucks! Shrimp (prawns) baked in a white wine-butter reduction with lemon and garlic, with a crunchy parmesan breadcrumb topping! Don't skip crust bread for dunking in the incredible sauce! It's basically a crunchy version of Shrimp Scampi!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220°C/430°F (all oven types).
- Pour wine and half the butter into 9 x 13" / 22 x 33cm baking pan (see Note 3 if using glass). Place in oven for 10 minutes to reduce.
- Toss prawns with remaining butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Butter may harden - that's ok.
- Mix Crunchy Topping ingredients.
- Remove pan from oven. Add prawns - spread out in single layer, but snug.
- Top with Crunchy Topping. Bake 12 minutes.
- Flick to broiler/grill on high, broil for 1 - 2 minutes (max) to brown top a bit more.
- Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and crusty bread to mop up the incredible sauce!
Notes
- Prawns/shrimp - use large/jumbo ones if possible. If you only have small or medium ones, reduce cook time by a couple of minutes.
- If using frozen, thaw thoroughly and drain off excess liquid. I used frozen pink prawns/shrimp from Costco (they look cooked but they're raw!)
- Panko breadcrumbs - breadcrumbs that are larger than normal breadcrumbs so you get incredible extra crunch! Find them in the Asian section of everyday supermarkets, and next to ordinary breadcrumbs. But they're cheaper at Asian stores!
- Glass and heat - Pyrex and Anchor Hocking are fine at 240°C/450°F, and for the short broil/grill time required to brown top a touch. If you're concerned, use metal instead - just use a pan where the shrimp/prawns fit fairly snugly rather than spread out (minimise breadcrumbs dropping into sauce).
