This breezy weeknight meal loads fresh shrimp with fistfuls of garlicky, seasoned bread crumbs, which crisp and brown on top and plump up and soften underneath as they roast, soaking up the buttery wine sauce at the bottom of the sheet pan. It’s inspired by the Italian American classic clams oreganata, clams stuffed with bread crumbs and dried oregano, but instead swaps out the bivalves for shrimp. Slip the sheet pan in the oven to melt the butter, then stir in white wine before adding the shrimp and bread crumbs, creating a quick, tasty pan sauce that reduces as it cooks. A final spritz of lemon as soon as the pan comes out of the oven adds a nice zippy finish. Serve as an appetizer (plate required!), or alongside a plate of pasta or vegetables.

Preparation

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

Made this last night, I’m on the fence about making it again. It had a nice mix of flavors with the garlic, lemon, butter and herbs all complementing the fresh Key West Pink shrimp I used. But the sprinkled breadcrumb mix doesn’t stick to the shrimp at all and makes it awkward to serve the dish. I was bacheloring last night so I just ate off it the pan, like any good Neanderthal. Not sure how I’d serve it to humans.

I made this fun shrimp dish. I toasted the breadcrumbs first and then tossed in the parsley, garlic, and oregano. Next time, I plan to add red chili flakes to the wine and butter mixture. Served it over garlic mashed potatoes. That was fine, but I think this would be super yummy served over or with a ceaser salad. Any leftover breadcrumbs can be sprinkled over the salad. Tomorrow....

Any suggestions for butter substitute? We have a dairy allergy in the family, and don’t quite know what to do for a recipe where it sees like olive oil won’t quite work as the replacement.

@Lindsey I think olive oil would work very well when you cannot use butter, maybe just use less so that the dish doesn’t become too oily. Let us know how you make out!

do you mean sprinkle lemon zest on top?
