Golden, bubbling, and irresistibly fragrant, each shrimp basks in a blanket of garlic butter and crisp Parmesan, emerging from the oven with a delicate crunch and rich aroma that fills the kitchen with warmth.
Ingredients :
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 tablespoons melted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
How to Make It:
1. Prepare the Shrimp:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the shrimp in a single layer, allowing space for even cooking.
2. Infuse the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour this fragrant mixture over the shrimp, coating them thoroughly.
3. Create the Topping:
Mix Parmesan and panko breadcrumbs together. Sprinkle evenly over the shrimp to form a light, cheesy crust.
4. Bake to Perfection:
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and the topping turns golden. For a crispier finish, broil briefly until the edges bubble and brown beautifully.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Scatter with chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or over pasta. The buttery garlic aroma invites every bite to linger.
