Baked Shrimp in Garlic Butter Sauce

How to Make Garlic Butter Baked Shrimp

  1. Preheat the oven
    Set it to 430°F (220°C). Place the wine and a few tablespoons of butter in your baking dish, then bake for 10 minutes to deepen the flavors.
  2. Season the shrimp
    Toss shrimp with lemon juice, garlic, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Don’t worry if the butter firms up—it’ll melt beautifully while baking.
  3. Prepare the topping
    Combine panko, parmesan, olive oil, and salt in a small bowl.
  4. Layer and bake
    Take the dish out of the oven, arrange the shrimp in a single layer, and evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb topping over them.
  5. Bake and broil
    Bake for 12 minutes, then broil for 1–2 minutes until golden and crisp.
  6. Serve immediately
    Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Don’t forget crusty bread or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce!

Tips for Success

  • No wine? Substitute with chicken broth for a rich, savory alternative.
  • Panko breadcrumbs give a crispier texture compared to regular breadcrumbs.
  • Shrimp cook quickly—keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
  • Love garlic? Feel free to add an extra clove or two.

Enjoy your effortlessly elegant shrimp dish!
