Ingredients

Scale

Seafood

  • 1 lb medium or large peeled and deveined shrimp

Marinade

  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Breadcrumb Coating

  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Extra lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep the shrimp: Rinse peeled and deveined shrimp under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure a crispy coating during baking.
  2. Marinate with garlic and lemon: In a large bowl, combine freshly minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss the shrimp well to coat each piece evenly, allowing the flavors to penetrate.
  3. Prepare the breadcrumb mixture: In a separate bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese, chili flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt to create the crunchy topping.
  4. Coat the shrimp: Dip each shrimp into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly so the crust adheres firmly without falling off. Arrange shrimp in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake to perfection: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake shrimp for 10-12 minutes, or until opaque and the crust is golden and crispy.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and squeeze extra lemon juice over the shrimp. Serve immediately to enjoy the best crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Use very dry shrimp to maximize crispiness—pat shrimp thoroughly with paper towels before coating.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; arrange shrimp in a single layer for even baking and air circulation.
  • Use fresh minced garlic rather than garlic powder for vibrant flavor.
  • Bake at a high temperature to crisp the coating quickly without overcooking the shrimp.
  • Consider using a silicone baking mat instead of aluminum foil to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
