A delightful and easy-to-make shrimp dish, perfect for a flavorful dinner.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Lightly grease 4 individual gratin dishes with cooking spray.
Using individual dishes makes serving easier and more elegant.
Divide the shrimp evenly among the prepared dishes.
Ensure the shrimp are in a single layer for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and minced garlic.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
Stir in the lemon juice and olive oil until the mixture is evenly moistened.
The mixture should have a crumbly texture, not too wet.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp in the dishes.
Press the topping lightly to ensure it adheres to the shrimp.
Place the gratin dishes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 13 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
Check the shrimp for doneness; they should be opaque and pink.
Serve the baked shrimp hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
