Ingredients
Scale
Seafood
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
Stuffing 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
For Serving
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preparing the oven and baking dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish thoroughly to prevent the shrimp from sticking during baking, ensuring easy removal and easy clean-up.
- Mixing the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined and forms a slightly moist crumbly texture.
- Assembling the Casserole: Arrange the peeled and deveined shrimp in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Evenly spread the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the shrimp, making sure each shrimp is generously coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Baking the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Bake until the shrimp turn opaque and curl slightly, and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Serving the Dish: Remove the casserole from the oven. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve hot for a delicious and elegant seafood meal.
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some red pepper flakes into the breadcrumb mixture if you enjoy a bit of heat.
- Use fresh shrimp for the best texture and taste. If using frozen, thaw completely before cooking.
- This dish pairs well with a light green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
- You can substitute fresh parsley with fresh basil or cilantro for a different herbal note.
- Ensure the shrimp are arranged in a single layer to promote even cooking and browning of the breadcrumb topping.
