"Magic Crispy" Baked Shrimp

 

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

PREPARATION (serve with garlic bread and zoodles sauteed with garlic and some parm on top) :) 

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Pour wine and 2 tablespoons melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Place in oven for 10 minutes to let sauce reduce.
3. Add remaining butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper to a bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat.
4. In a separate bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, and 2 tablespoons melted butter.
5. Remove baking dish from oven and spread out shrimp in a single layer, though they should fit snugly together.
6. Sprinkle with breadcrumb topping and bake until shrimp are opaque but still pink, 12 minutes.
7. Broil on high up to 2 minutes to encourage browning. Top with fresh parsley and serve. Enjoy!
