Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • ¾ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 lb large tail-on shrimp
Preheat the oven to about 450.
Breadcrumb and garlic topping
  • 3 cloves garlic
In a bowl, combine plain breadcrumbs, the garlic and chopped parsley.
  • parsley
  • ½ lemon lemon zest
  • salt
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Add the zest of half a lemon, dried oregano crushed between the fingers, a good pinch of salt and about a quarter cup of extra virgin olive oil, more as needed, until it is moist like wet sand; add a pinch of hot pepper flakes.
  • olive oil
  • hot pepper flakes
Oil the bottom of a shallow dutch oven or skillet and season it; lay the shrimp tightly in a single layer.
  • salt
Drizzle the shrimp with a little olive oil, add a little pinch of salt, and scatter the topping all over.
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Slice about two tablespoons of unsalted butter thin and dot it over the top.
Bake in the hot oven 10 to 12 minutes; if the top needs color, broil briefly, watching closely.
Baked 12 minutes, then broiled one minute.
Finishing with parsley and lemon
  • fresh parsley
  • lemon wedges
Scatter fresh parsley over, squeeze lemon over the top, and serve with lemon wedges.
