Oven baked shrimp with a hint of lemon and garlic, topped with flavourful golden and buttery, garlic parmesan breadcrumbs. This dish is easy to make with a fancy restaurant flair at home.
1: Heat oven to 220°C | 425º F.
2: In a well-seasoned oven-proof skillet or baking dish, combine the shrimp, lemon juice, white wine, shallots, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix well until the shrimp are evenly coated.
3: OPTIONAL: Starting from the outer edge of your skillet or dish, arrange the shrimp in a single layer towards the centre of the pan. Set aside.
4: In a small bowl, combine the remaining melted butter, bread crumbs, garlic, parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons of the chopped parsley; mix well.
5: Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the shrimp and bake for 12 minutes, or until hot and bubbling, and the shrimp are 'just' cooked through.
6: Change oven settings to broil or grill for a further minute or so, until the top is crispy and golden.
7: Garnish with remaining parsley, squeeze over a drizzle of lemon juice and serve with lemon wedges.
