Description

Crispy Baked Garlic Shrimp features tender shrimp coated in a golden, crunchy garlic and Parmesan crust baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Garlic Coating

  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Finishing

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels to remove all moisture. Trim any tails if desired for easier eating.
  2. Make the Garlic Coating: In a bowl, combine minced garlic, panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Gradually drizzle in olive oil while mixing until the mixture is evenly coated and crumbly but moist.
  3. Coat the Shrimp: Toss the shrimp with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres well to each piece, ensuring maximum crunch.
  4. Arrange and Bake: Place coated shrimp on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer without touching. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Finish with Lemon Juice and Parsley: Remove shrimp from oven, immediately squeeze fresh lemon juice over them, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve right away while the coating is crisp.

Notes

  • Pat shrimp dry completely to avoid soggy coating.
  • Minced garlic should be as fine as possible to prevent overpowering bites.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking tray; space shrimp evenly for even crispness.
  • Bake at high temperature to brown topping quickly without overcooking shrimp.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy maximum crispiness.
