Must-Have Ingredients

  • Large shrimp: 450g, peeled, deveined and patted dry.
  • Dry white wine: 120ml, to add depth to the sauce.
  • Unsalted butter: 60g, melted and split.
  • Lemon juice: Juice from one lemon, for brightness.
  • Garlic: 3 cloves, finely chopped.
  • Panko breadcrumbs: 90g, for the crunch.
  • Parmesan: 30g, finely grated.
  • Salt and black pepper: 2.5g salt and 1g pepper.
  • Fresh parsley: Chopped, for garnish.

How To Make It

Getting the oven ready
Heat your oven to 220°C. Pour white wine and 30g melted butter into a 33x23cm dish. Put it in the oven for 10 minutes to reduce and boost the flavors.
Flavor your shrimp
Mix the remaining butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Coat the shrimp in this mixture.
Make the topping
In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, parmesan, salt and melted butter.
Put it all together and bake
Arrange the shrimp in the dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Bake for 12 minutes until shrimp turn pink. Broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.

Great Side Dishes

Enjoy your Magic Crispy Shrimp with a garden-fresh salad, steamed veggies, or fluffy rice pilaf. A crusty bread slice works great for soaking up the sauce. For a fancy meal, pair with a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.

Tips For Success

Go for fresh large shrimp for the best taste and texture. If using frozen, thaw and dry them thoroughly before cooking. Watch your cooking time carefully, shrimp should just turn opaque and slightly pink. Try adding extra herbs or a dash of chili for your own special twist.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I prep this ahead of time?
Prepare the shrimp and breading separately a few hours in advance. Combine and bake right before serving to keep it crunchy.
→ What type of white wine works?
Go for a dry white like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Avoid sweet ones so the sauce tastes just right.
→ How do I know the shrimp is done?
Shrimp is ready when it turns pink and curls into a C shape. Don't overcook, or it'll get tough.
→ Can I swap out the white wine?
Yes, chicken or seafood broth works fine. The flavor will change but still taste great.
→ What sides go well with it?
Serve with plain rice to soak up the sauce, grilled green veggies, or a crisp salad. Crusty bread is great for dipping too.
