Prep time: 10 mins | Bake time: 15 mins | Servings: 4
Ingredients
1.5 lbs raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs (or crushed pork rinds for keto)
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prep Oven & Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8×11-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Arrange Shrimp: Pat the peeled and deveined shrimp dry with paper towels. Arrange them in a single, even layer in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
3. Make Garlic Butter Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning. Pour evenly over the shrimp.
4. Add Breadcrumbs & Cheese: In a separate bowl, toss the Panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese together. Sprinkle generously over the top of the shrimp layer.
5. Bake: Bake uncovered for 12–15 minutes until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through, and the breadcrumb topping turns golden brown and bubbly.
6. Garnish & Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and extra lemon slices. Serve hot alongside rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
