08 -
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
09 -
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
10 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
11 -
2 tablespoons butter, melted
12 -
Fresh parsley, finely chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure it’s hot enough to cook the shrimp quickly and evenly.
02 -
Pour the dry white wine and 2 tablespoons of melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking pan. Place the pan in the oven for about 10 minutes to allow the sauce to reduce and concentrate its flavors.
03 -
In a bowl, combine the remaining butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss well to ensure they are fully coated.
04 -
In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and melted butter to create the topping.
05 -
Remove the preheated baking pan from the oven. Spread the shrimp in a single layer in the dish, ensuring even coverage for consistent cooking.
06 -
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp to create a crispy, golden-brown topping as it bakes.
07 -
Bake the shrimp for 12 minutes, or until they are opaque but slightly pink. Switch the oven to broil on high for 1-2 minutes to achieve a perfect crisp topping, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
