Must-Have Ingredients

  • Jumbo shrimp: 450g, peeled, deveined and patted dry.
  • Dry white wine: 120ml, to add depth to the sauce.
  • Unsalted butter: 60g, melted and split in half.
  • Lemon juice: Juice from one lemon, for brightness.
  • Garlic: 3 cloves, finely chopped.

  • Parmesan: 30g, finely grated.
  • Salt and black pepper: 2.5g salt and 1g pepper.

Cooking Steps

Heat up and prep work
Get your oven hot at 220°C. Pour the white wine and 30g melted butter into a 33x23cm dish. Let it bake for 10 minutes to thicken and boost the flavors.
Flavor your shrimp
In a bowl, mix the leftover butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Coat the shrimp in this tasty mixture.
Make your crunchy topping
Grab another bowl and combine panko breadcrumbs, parmesan, salt and melted butter.
Put it all together and bake
Lay the shrimp in the dish and sprinkle the breadcrumb mix on top. Cook for 12 minutes until shrimp turn pink. For extra crunch, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.

Perfect Side Dishes

Enjoy your Magic Crispy Shrimp with a garden fresh salad, steamed veggies, or fluffy rice pilaf. A chunk of crusty bread works great for soaking up the sauce. Want to make it fancy? Pour a glass of dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc to go with it.

Tips for Success

Go for fresh large shrimp for the best taste and texture. If you're using frozen ones, thaw and dry them thoroughly before cooking. Don't overcook them - they should just turn opaque and slightly pink. Feel free to try adding extra herbs or a dash of chili for your own personal twist.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I prep this ahead of time?
Sure, prepare the shrimp and breadcrumb mix a few hours early. Put them together and bake just before serving to keep it crispy.
→ Which type of white wine works best?
A dry one like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio works great. Skip the sweet wines as they’ll alter the sauce’s flavor.
→ How do I know if the shrimp are done?
They’re done when they turn pink and curl into a C shape. Don’t overcook them or they’ll get rubbery.
→ Can I swap white wine for something else?
Yes, use chicken or fish broth instead. It changes the flavor but is just as tasty.
→ What sides go well with this?
White rice to soak up the sauce, grilled greens, or a fresh salad would be great. Crusty bread is also perfect for the sauce.
