Magic Crispy Baked Shrimp

This delicious and elegant shrimp recipe is so simple to make but the flavor is truly amazing. The shrimp are flavored with ingredients like white wine, lemon and garlic, and then you have a crispy topping with panko, parsley and parmesan cheese.

The shrimp are of course the star of the dish so make sure you have good quality ones. Jumbo shrimp work well or the biggest ones you can find.

Small shrimp are fine for making some dishes but this recipe deserves big, juicy, jumbo ones. Make sure you de-vein them first, which means cutting into the back and removing the black digestive tract

It’s edible but nobody wants to see or eat that part so it’s best to remove them if they haven’t already been done. The shrimp are topped with the crispy crumb mixture and then baked in butter which helps keep them succulent.
