Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb shrimp, (shelled, cleaned, & deveined)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil 
  • 1/2 lemon (plus more for serving)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Set the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Add the unsalted butter and minced garlic to a large skillet or pan on the stove over medium heat.  Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Next add in the fresh oregano and fresh parsley.  Sauté again for another 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add in the panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper.  Combine.  Sauté the breadcrumb mixture for 2-3 minutes, until thoroughly warmed and slightly toasted.  Remove from the heat and set aside.
  5. Then add the shrimp to a large greased baking dish.  Arrange in a single layer as best as possible.
  6. Evenly spread the breadcrumb mixture on top of the shrimp.  Sprinkle the parmesan cheese and drizzle the olive oil on top of the breadcrumbs.  Cut the lemon half into slices and place the slices on top as well.  Or just squeeze 1/2 a lemon evenly on top of the shrimp.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the shrimp is just cooked through.  The exact cooking time will depend on how crowded the baking dish is, mine was a bit crowded so it took 12 minutes.
  8. Broil on high for 1-2 minutes until the breadcrumbs become golden brown and slightly crispy.  Keep an eye so it does not burn!
  9. Serve the shrimp with an extra squeeze of fresh lemon juice.  Enjoy!
