Notes
Special Considerations:
For best results, use large raw shrimp for this recipe to achieve the ideal balance of flavor and texture.
If you’re looking for a lighter option, substitute the breadcrumbs with almond flour for a gluten-free version. This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad for a complete dinner with shrimp that’s healthy and satisfying. Notes/Variations Swap the panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese for extra richness.
Serve over cooked quinoa or whole-grain pasta for a hearty meal.
If using cooked salad shrimp, reduce the bake time to 5 minutes to avoid overcooking.
