garlicky baked shrimp
March 20th, 2010
Come join the fun this week at the My Baking Addiction and GoodLife Eats Holiday Recipe Swap sponsored by Holland House….and vote for this recipe here! If you scroll down, it will be #10. Thanks!
This past Friday, I stumbled upon two wonderful finds. First, I had the pleasure of meeting a delightful new mechanic named Don, who (as my friend who recommended him promised) gave my Honda some great TLC. And then while hanging out in his office, catching up on my latest issue of Real Simple, I stumbled across this recipe. Um…YUM!
Since the ingredient list and method did indeed seem “real simple”, and (as my friends would tell you) I’ll take any excuse I can to pull out the Panko, I decided to give it a try this weekend. And sure enough, it was absolutely delicious!
Somehow I realized that I accidentally bought the package of teeny tiny frozen shrimp, so I admit it didn’t quite look like the magazine photo. (I would definitely recommend using large or extra-large shrimp!) But shrimp is still shrimp, and the flavors came together perfectly! I especially loved the extra crunch of the Panko and squeeze of lemon! Best of all, though, the prep time took less than 10 minutes. Definitely an easy dish to wow your family or friends in a time crunch!
Yay for fun Friday discoveries! Will be revisiting both again very soon! :)
Garlicky Baked Shrimp
(Adapted from Real Simple)
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. raw shrimp, deveined and peeled
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp. white wine
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup (4 Tbsp.) melted butter
- 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 Tbsp. fresh Italian-leaf parsley, chopped
- half of a lemon (optional)
Method:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine the shrimp, garlic, and white wine. Stir to combine, then pour into a baking dish. Spread out evenly, and then season with salt and pepper.
In another bowl, use a fork to mix melted butter, Panko, and parsley until well combined. With your fingers, sprinkle the mixture evenly in the baking dish over the shrimp.
Transfer dish to oven and bake until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 15-18 minutes.
Ali’s Tip:
Next time I make this, I’d like to try a cilantro and lime juice combo (maybe using a little tequila instead of white wine). Think it could be fun!
looks delicious, what did you serve it with?

Hey Tara!
I actually served it with some really simple garlic/chili pepper/olive oil pasta. Will get the recipe for it up soon!! :) But just about anything would work — pasta, a green salad, risotto, you name it!
Enjoy!

How simple! I definitely need to try this. Maybe over some angle hair pasta or rice!?

Looks great! I actually cut out this recipe from Real Simple too…it’s been waiting patiently (along with my other hundreds of recipes I have to try). Maybe I’ll get on this one sooner rather than later.

Hi Ali,
Congratulations on this great blog.
I have a publishing idea I’d like to run past you, if you’d be kind enough to provide me with an email address?
Many thanks in advance,
Julia

I second the tequila idea, although it would be hard to improve on this dish. It looks amazing and so perfect for spring.

This looks like a fun and easy dish. I wish my hubby liked shrimp… I’ll have to try it sometime when he’s not around!

Simple and colorful too! GREG

Oooh! This looks easy and delish! And I just bought some Panko breadcrumbs at Trader Joes!
[Reply]
That shrimp looks so good!
[Reply]
Mmm! Sounds so easy to make and looks good. Shrimp and garlic, loved them combined. I must try this recipe as soon as I get some Panko available. I might serve it with risotto and white wine. Thanks!

Nice pics should put a few more up here!

Just tried your recipe, but with tequila, cilantro, and lime as you suggested. It was great! We had a lime based couscous with it and a spicy mixed green salad with feta, blueberries, and tomatoes. Thanks!

I have read over a few of your entries and I was itching to know if you were interesting in swapping website links? I am often searching to swap links with blogs on similar content! I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Made this last night. Quick. Easy. Delicious. A definite make again recipe.

I would suggest roasting some asparagus in the oven while this shirmp cooks.

Wow~ Made this tonight and it’s fabulous! There’s two little items missing from the directions! First, be sure to use a baking dish where most of the shrimp is in just one layer…the panko crisps up better that way! Second…add the lemon to the wine and garlic…and ohhh…can you say yum! My teenage boys were in “scrimp” heaven! Thanks for the great addition to my favorite easy meals!

I have a nearly identical recipe that I use as a freezer meal. I put this together raw, then freeze. When we’re ready to eat it I simply thaw and bake as noted. My husband and kids love it and I love a good freezer meal!

Just made this dish. Absolutely delish!
[Reply]
Awesome!

I’ve been playing with this. I made it once according to the recipe and everyone loved it. The next time I made it I substituted the butter for some olive oil and they loved it even more! Next I’m going to mix some fresh asparagus in with the shrimp and see how that comes out!
[Reply]
This is wonderful! I made it with the cilantro and lime, YUM!!!
I will be making this again, the family loved it.

Really easy to make and delicious. Substituted the shrimp for chicken and with a little more cooking (35 minutes) it turned out perfectly, served over pasta.

What kind of white wine did you use? I’m going to make this next week. Thanks!
[Reply]
Delish….used crushed up ritz crackers instead…doubled the topping! Delish!
[Reply]
This dish was awesome! We loved the garlic, served with salad and saffron rice! It was delish and will serve again very soon!

Saw this on Pinterest and so glad I made it tonight! I used tequila and lime and it was fabulous! Every one raved about it! Had it with Israeli couscous and steamed broccoli. Yum! Thank you so much!
