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
Garnish
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare breadcrumb mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is evenly moistened.
- Coat the shrimp: Arrange the peeled and deveined shrimp in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Evenly coat each shrimp with the breadcrumb mixture by gently pressing it onto the shrimp to adhere well.
- Bake the shrimp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp turn opaque and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges on the side to squeeze over just before eating, adding a bright and zesty flavor to the dish.
Notes
- Ensure shrimp are fully peeled and deveined for the best texture and taste.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs to keep the dish gluten-free.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, drizzle a little melted butter over the shrimp before baking.
- This dish pairs well with a light green salad or steamed vegetables.
