Ingredients

• 2 lbs large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 6 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1.5 cups breadcrumbs (preferably fresh)
• 2 tablespoons shallots (finely minced)
• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 cup white wine (dry)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Add the breadcrumbs to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until evenly coated in butter and lightly toasted.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shallots, parsley, white wine, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Spread the peeled and deveined shrimp evenly in the prepared casserole dish.

Step 6

Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring the shrimp are well-covered.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added richness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, alongside crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
