Baked Shrimp in Garlic Butter Sauce

3. Make the topping

Mix panko, parmesan, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

4. Layer and bake
Take the dish out of the oven, add the shrimp, and spread them out in a single layer. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly on top.

5. Bake and broil
Bake for about 12 minutes, then turn on the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until the topping is golden.

6. Serve hot
Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Don’t forget some crusty bread for that amazing sauce!

Tips

  • If you don’t have wine, chicken broth works fine.
  • Panko gives a better crunch than regular breadcrumbs.
  • Keep an eye on the shrimp — they cook fast.
  • Want extra garlic? Add an extra clove or two.

Notes

  • Make sure shrimp are dry before baking or the sauce will get watery.
