Sensational. Simple. Ready in just 30 minutes. We all have those go-to dinners, the ones we rely on when we want a delicious meal on the table in no time. Well, my friends, I have a recipe that needs to be added to your list of quick and easy dinners. This magic crispy baked shrimp is not only incredibly easy to make, but it’s also unbelievably delicious. With a buttery, lemony, and garlicky flavor, topped with crispy breadcrumbs, it’s a real winner.

To make this mouthwatering dish, start by melting some butter and combining it with white wine in a baking dish. Let it bubble in a hot oven for a few minutes to form a flavorful sauce. Meanwhile, toss the shrimp in a mixture of butter, lemon juice, and garlic. If you have frozen shrimp, it’s even easier!

Place the shrimp in the buttery wine sauce and generously sprinkle a mixture of Panko breadcrumbs, butter, and Parmesan cheese on top. Bake until the breadcrumbs become golden brown and crispy, and the shrimp turns pink and fully cooked. The result is shrimp infused with plenty of garlic butter and a perfect crispy texture.

One of the best things about this recipe is that you don’t need to measure everything precisely. Adjust the amount of butter, lemon juice, and garlic to your taste, and it will still turn out amazing. It’s a versatile and foolproof recipe that you can easily customize. Whether it’s for a quick weeknight dinner or for entertaining guests, this magic crispy baked shrimp is always a hit.
