– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Making 5-Ingredient Lemon Panko Shrimp is a straightforward and rewarding process. Follow these simple steps for success:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Shrimp: Remove the shells from the shrimp, ensuring they are peeled and deveined. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. Mix Coating Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until the panko is well-coated with seasoning.
4. Coat the Shrimp: Toss the shrimp in the panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure each shrimp is evenly coated.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not crowded to promote even cooking.
6. Bake the Shrimp: Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until they appear golden brown and crispy. In the last few minutes of baking, you can switch to broil for a minute for extra crispiness if desired.
7. Check Doneness: Ensure the shrimp are cooked through. They should be opaque and firm to the touch.
8. Serve Immediately: Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a minute before serving. Garnish with additional lemon wedges if desired.
These steps will yield a delightful platter of 5-Ingredient Lemon Panko Shrimp that is as visually appealing as it is delicious!
