Garlicky Baked Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds raw shrimp (peeled and de-veined)
• 6 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
• 3 tablespoons white wine
• Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
• ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) melted butter
• ½ cup Panko bread crumbs
• 1-2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh Italian-leaf parsley (chopped)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F.

2. 2

   In a medium mixing bowl, add the shrimp, garlic, and white wine and toss to combine.  Transfer the shrimp mixture to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, and spread the shrimp out in an even layer.  Season with with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Rinse out the mixing bowl, then add the melted butter and Panko, and use a fork to stir everything together until it’s evenly combined. With your fingers, sprinkle the mixture evenly in the baking dish over the shrimp.

4. 4

   Transfer dish to oven and bake for about 7 minutes, or until the shrimp are just turning pink.  Switch the oven over to the “high” broiler setting.  Then broil the shrimp for 2-3 more minutes or until they are totally pink and cooked through, and the Panko starts to toast and turn slightly golden.

5. 5

   Remove and drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the shrimp, and sprinkle on the parsley.  Serve immediately.
