Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb jumbo shrimp
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 lemon juice
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 3 garlic cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Topping Ingredients:
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 bunch fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F, ensuring your rack sits in the middle position for even cooking.
- Pour ½ cup white wine and 2 tablespoons melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place the dish in the oven for exactly 10 minutes to reduce the liquid.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons melted butter with 3 minced garlic cloves, juice from 1 whole lemon, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add 1 pound jumbo shrimp to the butter mixture, gently tossing until each shrimp gets completely coated.
- Combine ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs, ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons melted butter in a separate bowl, mixing until the crumbs feel evenly moistened.
- Remove the wine reduction from the oven and carefully arrange the seasoned shrimp in a single layer across the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the prepared panko mixture evenly over the shrimp, covering each piece generously.
- Bake at 425°F for precisely 12 minutes, watching for the shrimp to turn completely opaque and slightly pink.
- Switch your oven to high broil and cook for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- Use fresh, large shrimp for the best texture and sweetest flavor.
- Pat shrimp completely dry before seasoning to help achieve maximum crispiness on the topping.
- For a gluten-free version, swap panko breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Avoid overcooking shrimp by watching carefully during the final broiling stage, as they can quickly turn rubbery and tough.
