For the Shrimp:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F, positioning one rack in the middle and another near the top of the oven.
- Pat the colossal shrimp very dry, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In an oven-safe baking dish or large pan, arrange the shrimp with their tails pointing up.
- Distribute the seasoned breadcrumbs on top of the shrimp.
- Pour the white wine and chicken stock around the shrimp.
- Sprinkle the cubed butter all over the shrimp and into the sauce.
- Drizzle 1-3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over the breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through.
- After ten minutes, move the baking dish to the top rack and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Remove the shrimp from the oven and plate with lemon wedges. Spoon the flavorful sauce onto plates and serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious buttery sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
-
Shrimp Size: The recipe specifies colossal shrimp (U12-15 size), but you can use other sizes as well. Adjust the cooking time accordingly if you use smaller shrimp.
-
Customization: Feel free to add other seasonings or herbs to the seasoned breadcrumbs to suit your taste. You can also incorporate additional spices like paprika or thyme.
-
Safety: Take care when broiling to avoid overcooking the shrimp. Keep a close eye on them to ensure they don’t become tough or dry.
-
Lemon Zest: Consider adding lemon zest to the breadcrumbs or as a garnish for a zesty twist.
-
Wine: Use a dry white wine for the recipe. If you don’t have wine on hand, you can substitute with chicken broth or seafood stock.
-
Garnish: A sprinkle of fresh herbs like chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving can add freshness and vibrancy to the dish.
