Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds (680g) colossal shrimp (12-15ct), cleaned, shells removed, and deveined
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 3/4 cup (180g) low sodium chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup (60g) dry white wine
  • 1 large lemon, cut into wedges
  • 6 tablespoons (84g) unsalted butter, cubed
  • For the seasoned breadcrumbs:
  • 1/3 cup (33g) breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) lemon juice
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons (16g) grated Parmigiano Reggiano
  • 2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf Italian parsley
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Seasoned Breadcrumbs In a large pan, sauté minced garlic in olive oil over medium-low heat until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Stir in breadcrumbs, lemon juice, Parmigiano Reggiano, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, and kosher salt. Mix well and remove from heat.
  2. Preparing the Shrimp Preheat your oven to 425°F with racks in the middle and top positions. Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a baking dish with tails pointing up.
  3. Assembling the Dish Sprinkle the prepared breadcrumbs evenly over the shrimp. Pour wine and chicken stock around the shrimp, not over, to keep breadcrumbs crisp. Dot the surface with cubed butter and drizzle additional olive oil over the top.
  4. Baking Bake the shrimp on the middle rack for 10 minutes, or until they are opaque and cooked through. For a golden crispy top, broil on the top rack for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Serving Remove from oven and serve immediately with lemon wedges. Spoon the buttery wine sauce over the shrimp and enjoy with crusty bread for an ultimate experience.
