Ingredients
- 2 pounds Shrimp peeled, deveined and tails on or off
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons white wine optional - sub with extra lemon juice or chicken stock
- 1 brown shallot minced
- ⅓ cup butter melted, divided
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed, or more, to taste
- ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves chopped
- 3 Lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425º F (220°C). Combine shrimp, lemon juice, white wine, shallots, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a skillet or baking dish. Mix well to coat shrimp.
- OPTIONAL: Starting from the outer edge of your skillet or dish, arrange the shrimp in a single layer towards the centre of the pan. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining melted butter, bread crumbs, garlic, parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons of the chopped parsley; mix well.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the shrimp and bake for 12 minutes, or until hot and bubbling, and the shrimp are 'just' cooked through. Change oven settings to broil or grill for a further minute or so, until the top is crispy and golden.
- Garnish with remaining parsley, squeeze over a drizzle of lemon juice and serve with lemon wedges.
