Magic Crispy Baked Shrimp

Ingredients:

For the Shrimp:

1 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 cup dry white wine

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and divided

Juice from one lemon

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Topping:

3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Pour the white wine and 2 tablespoons of melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking pan. Place the pan in the oven for 10 minutes to allow the sauce to reduce.

In a bowl, mix the remaining melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.

In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter.

Remove the baking dish from the oven and arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the pan. They should fit snugly but not overlap.

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp.

Bake for 12 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque but still pink. For extra crispiness, broil on high for up to 2 minutes to encourage browning.

Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
