Ladies I'm honestly pumped for you to try this shrimp! When I want something that looks fancy but don't want to spend all day cooking, this is my secret weapon. The shrimp turns out juicy and the buttery lemon garlic sauce? You'll feel like you're out for a treat. And hey, from the minute you start till you're eating: just 20 minutes. Gotta love that.

Why You'll Crave This Crowd-Pleaser

This meal is a breeze but still feels special. That mix of garlic, white wine, and a topping of buttery crispy crumbs is just heavenly. I toss it together any time guests pop in and they always act like I fussed for hours. Can't mess it up and it's easy to switch things up to match your mood.

Get to Know the Goodies Inside

  • All About the Shrimp: Get a pound of peeled and cleaned shrimp, but keep those tails for a fancy look.
  • Big Flavor: You can't skip the 6 garlic cloves—I'm never kidding about the garlic.
  • That Little Something: Pour in a bit (around 1/4 cup) of dry white wine, it brings everything together.
  • Butter Magic: Melt 1/4 cup of butter, it's a must for that rich vibe.
  • For the Crunch: A half cup of panko crumbs makes the top extra toasty.
  • Lemon Love: Grab one lemon for zest and juice—it wakes everything up.
  • Can’t Forget: Salt and pepper, just what you need to tie all the flavors together.

How I Throw This Together

Shrimp Goes First
While your oven warms up to 425°F, mix those shrimp up with garlic and wine right away.
Get That Topping Ready
Blend melted butter, panko, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Layer It All Up
Put the shrimp in your baking pan, then sprinkle over your buttered crumb mixture.
Slide Into the Oven
Let it bake for around 7 minutes, then broil till it’s crispy and golden on top.
Add That Zing
Once it's out, splash on some lemon juice, sprinkle lemon zest, and dig in while it's hot.

Easy Ways to Enjoy It

I pair this up with a simple salad or toss some veggies in the oven. Sometimes I pop asparagus right in with the shrimp so it cooks together. Grab some thick bread to mop up the garlicky sauce, or if you're extra hungry, pile it on some rice.

Little Tricks I Love

In the mood for heat? Mix a pinch of red pepper flakes with your crumbs. Want it dairy-free? Use olive oil instead of butter. Fresh herbs like dill or parsley add something bright, and you can play with the broil time to get your perfect crunch. Whatever makes you happy!

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I use precooked shrimp?

Stick with raw shrimp for the best result. Precooked ones can overcook and turn chewy during baking.

→ What can I substitute for white wine?

Chicken broth or seafood stock works as a replacement. Toss in some lemon juice for added zing if you'd like.

→ Can I prepare this ahead of time?

Clean and season the shrimp beforehand, but save the panko layer for just before baking if you want it really crispy.

→ What size shrimp should I use?

Go for medium or large shrimp (about 16-20 per pound) since they cook evenly and stay nice and tender.

→ What should I serve with this dish?

Pair it with pasta, rice, or even crusty bread to mop up the garlic butter. A green salad adds balance.
