Ingredients
1.5 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 tbsp butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Arrange shrimp in a single layer in the baking dish. Spoon the garlic-Parmesan mixture evenly over each shrimp.
- Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs over the top.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, and the topping is golden.
- For an extra crispy finish, broil for 1–2 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use jumbo shrimp for a meatier bite.
- Swap panko for crushed pork rinds for a low-carb option.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat.
- Replace parsley with fresh basil for a different herb profile.
- Mix in a tablespoon of cream cheese to the topping for extra richness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes; avoid microwaving to prevent rubbery shrimp.
