Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2. Pour the wine and 2 tablespoons of melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place it in the oven for 10 minutes to let the sauce reduce.
3. In a bowl, combine the remaining butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
5. Remove the baking dish from the oven and spread the shrimp in a single layer, ensuring they fit snugly together.
6. Sprinkle the breadcrumb topping over the shrimp and bake until the shrimp are opaque but still pink, about 12 minutes.
7. Broil on high for up to 2 minutes to encourage browning. Top with fresh parsley and serve. Enjoy!
Tips for Success
Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor, but frozen shrimp that are already peeled and deveined can save time.
Ensure the shrimp are in a single layer to cook evenly.
Watch closely while broiling to avoid burning the topping.
Additional Tips and Variations
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the shrimp mixture.
Substitute the white wine with chicken broth if you prefer an alcohol-free version.
Serve with a side of pasta or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
