HOW TO MAKE LEMON BUTTER BAKED SHRIMP?
This is an excellent method to prepare shrimp: In the oven, it is fried in a buttery sauce with garlic, and ended with a white wine vinaigrette.
In my family, It’s known as Magical Baked Shrimp because it’s too simple to prepare but tastes like a million bucks. It’s literally Shrimp Scampi cooked in the oven!
You can’t get the same caramelization from baking shrimp in the oven as you can from searing prawns on the stove or grill, which implies less flavor.
And, to be honest, shrimp is expensive as compared to other popular proteins. So I’m not going to make any concessions while I prepare it!
So here are the two elements in this recipe that give it a boost to compensate for the flavor loss caused by the fact that we can’t caramelize shrimp in the oven:
• White wine vinaigrette; In a bottle, I squeeze two large lemons, and I added a spoon of white wine. This vinaigrette gives our baked shrimp a dangerous taste!!!
• The last layer of grated parmesan cheese; This layer how gives our dish a great texture.
So. To make a seriously amazing baked shrimp, don’t skip these two essential additions.
