Ingredients
- ¼cup unsalted butter
- 1½pounds large tail-on shrimp (about 24), peeled and deveined
- ¼cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and pepper
- 1lemon
- ¾cup dried bread crumbs
- ¼cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
- 2garlic cloves, minced
- 1tablespoon dried oregano
- ⅓cup white wine
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 450 degrees and position a rack in the middle. Cut the butter into small knobs and spread on a 9-by-13-inch sheet pan; set aside.
- Step 2
While the oven heats, place the shrimp in a medium bowl along with ¼ cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Zest the lemon on top, quarter the lemon, then squeeze in about 2 tablespoons lemon juice (reserve the remaining lemon for later). Mix to combine, then set aside.
- Step 3
In another medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, oregano, 1¼ teaspoons salt and 1¼ teaspoons pepper. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix with a fork to combine.
- Step 4
Set the sheet pan in the oven and heat just until the butter has melted, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet, setting it on a flat surface, then add the wine and swirl the pan to blend it with the butter.
- Step 5
Place the shrimp onto the hot pan in an even layer. Pour any remaining marinade over shrimp. Generously sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over each of the shrimp, allowing the excess to pool underneath as well.
- Step 6
Bake on the middle rack for about 6 minutes, until shrimp are pink and cooked through. Turn the oven to broil for 2 minutes to brown the bread crumbs. Remove from the oven and squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon wedges over the shrimp.
- Step 7
Enjoy the shrimp hot, spooning the pan juices and bread crumbs from the pan alongside.

I made this as written but subbed fresh basil for parsley, reduced the salt. The shrimp needed 8-9 min in the oven since we're at 5800'. The crumbs were partially browned by then, so I skipped the broiler. Next time, I'd reduce the wine to 1/4 C, roast half the crumbs on the shrimp and cook the rest in a saute pan til very crispy and serve on top. I served this on a piece of crispy garlic butter toast - VG. Over angel hair pasta would be good with parmesan, roasted cherry tomatoes/basil.
I made this as written, except I always remove shrimp tails before cooking. Served it over pasta with steamed broccoli. We loved it! This recipe is going into our rotation.
It helps if you toast the breadcrumbs a little ahead of time
Really tasty, added sumac, and skipped the garlic; only had dried rigani. No extra salt. The sour dough crumbs were soggy in part (pan probably too large) but mopped up the sauce. Used Assyrtiko wine, and crumbled feta on top. So more like a saganaki. Will use a smaller pan next time. Served with salad.

Absolutely delicious (as written). Very easy to make. Great variation on something familiar. The kids want to have very soon; as early as next week. Five stars (and a thumbs up!! from each of us).
