Instructions
To create Garlic Herb-Baked Shrimp Oreganata, follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, place the peeled and deveined shrimp. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, and mix well to coat.
3. Make the Breadcrumb Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, and olive oil. Stir until well mixed.
4. Arrange Shrimp: Spread the seasoned shrimp in a single layer on a baking dish.
5. Top with Breadcrumbs: Generously sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the shrimp, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and the breadcrumb topping is golden and crispy.
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from the oven and squeeze additional lemon juice over the top. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy hot from the oven for the best flavor and texture.
