Ingredients
  

Shrimp and Sauce
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons butter for greasing and sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Topping
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated for topping
Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then add the minced garlic and stir to combine.
  3. Whisk the mayonnaise, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper into the garlic butter until smooth and creamy.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels, then place them in the baking dish and pour the garlic-mayo mixture over top.
  2. Mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the shrimp.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the topping turns golden brown and the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  4. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
  5. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2-3 days. Can be frozen for up to a month. Reheat at 350°F until warmed through. Use frozen shrimp for convenience and thaw thoroughly before cooking. Substitute Parmesan with other cheeses if desired.
