Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp
  • 1 pound Jumbo Shrimp Deveined and shelled
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Melted; consider margarine or vegan butter
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced; garlic powder can be used as a substitute
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed is ideal; bottled can be used
For the Crunchy Topping
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs Substitute with crushed pork rinds or almond flour for low-carb
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated for best results

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Shallow dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine jumbo shrimp, melted butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the shrimp thoroughly.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, mix panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Dip each shrimp into the mixture, pressing to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange the coated shrimp on the baking sheet in a single layer and bake for approximately 12 minutes until opaque and firm.
  5. Broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
  6. Let the shrimp rest for a minute before serving. Pair with a salad or steamed veggies.
