Magic Crispy Baked Shrimp is a delightful recipe featuring jumbo shrimp bathed in a garlic lemon butter sauce, topped with a golden Parmesan breadcrumb crust. Baked to perfection, this dish is quick to prepare, packed with flavor, and perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Shrimp:

  • 1 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted and divided
  • Juice from one lemon
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Topping:

  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat helps the shrimp cook quickly while the topping gets golden and crisp.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Pour the dry white wine and 2 tablespoons of melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place the dish in the oven for 10 minutes to reduce the wine slightly and create a flavorful base for the shrimp.
  3. Marinate the Shrimp: While the wine mixture is heating, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter with minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat thoroughly. Set aside while preparing the topping.
  4. Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and slightly clumpy for an even crispy crust.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Remove the preheated baking dish from the oven. Arrange the marinated shrimp in a single layer, snugly fitting them into the pan. Pour any remaining garlic lemon butter from the bowl over the shrimp. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp, covering as much surface as possible.
  6. Bake and Broil: Bake the shrimp for about 12 minutes, or until they are opaque and just cooked through. For an extra-crispy top, switch the oven to broil on high for the last 1–2 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning the topping.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for 2–3 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use large or jumbo shrimp to avoid overcooking.
  • Pre-baking the wine and butter mixture enhances depth of flavor.
  • Broil with caution to prevent burning the crispy topping.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute with gluten-free panko breadcrumbs.
  • You can prepare shrimp and topping separately and assemble just before baking for convenience.
