Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
4 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 pound large raw shrimp peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, melted butter, garlic, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the garlic sauce.
Place the shrimp in a baking dish and pour the garlic sauce over them, tossing to coat evenly.
Drizzle lemon juice over the shrimp.
Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and the breadcrumbs are golden.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

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.
