  • - 1 cup breadcrumbs panko recommended
  • - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • - 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to guarantee the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  • In another bowl, toss the shrimp with the olive oil until they're well coated. This will help the breadcrumb mixture stick to the shrimp.
  • Dip each shrimp into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to confirm the coating adheres well. Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and the coating is golden brown. The exact time may vary based on the size of the shrimp.
  • Remove from the oven and let the shrimp cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
  • For the best results, make sure to use fresh shrimp and adjust the seasoning to your taste. If you prefer a little heat, consider adding cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture. Additionally, you can prepare the shrimp ahead of time and refrigerate them before baking, which makes it a convenient option for entertaining. Enjoy your delicious oven baked shrimp!
