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
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Pour wine and 2 tablespoons melted butter into a 9×13-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!
