Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. Shrimp I used frozen colossal size shrimp - 16-22 count per pound, which I thawed in the refrigerator overnight, peeled and deveined, raw
- 5 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon butter diced into very small cubes
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs whole wheat
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- parsley lemon juice, optional garnish; fresh minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F (220C).
- Spray a large baking dish (about 13-inch by 9-inch) with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
- Place shrimp in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle garlic, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan over shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Spread into a single layer again.
- Dot shrimp with butter.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 7-10 minutes (or just until shrimp are starting to turn pink). If you are using smaller shrimp, you will probably need to decrease the cooking time (about 6-7 minutes).
- Turn the oven broiler on high and place shrimp under the broiler for 2-3 more minutes or until shrimp are pink and cooked through and the crumb topping is golden brown.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
