Magic Baked Shrimp in Lemon Butter Sauce
Magic baked shrimp combines one pound of shrimp with lemon garlic butter and a crisp Parmesan-panko topping. It bakes at 375°F and serves four in about 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt for the topping
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, and lemon juice. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, and toss in the butter mixture to coat.
- Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in a baking dish (9x13-inch).
- In a separate bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, and olive oil until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the shrimp are pearly or white and opaque; a food thermometer in the thickest shrimp should read 145°F (63°C). For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end and watch closely.
- Serve immediately, spooning the lemon butter sauce from the dish over the shrimp.
Notes
This dish pairs beautifully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious lemon butter sauce.
