Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Breadcrumb Mixture
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Breadcrumb Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated and slightly moist.
- Arrange Shrimp: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle and coat the shrimp with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so it adheres well.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and garnish with fresh lemon wedges. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh parsley for best flavor, but dried parsley can be substituted if necessary.
- Ensure shrimp are properly peeled and deveined for ease of eating.
- You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a slight kick.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Gluten-free breadcrumbs can be found in most supermarkets or made at home using gluten-free bread.
