Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) shrimp (12 to 15 per pound, in the shell)
- 12 tablespoons (1 ½ sticks or 170 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ⅔ cup (55 grams) panko (Japanese dried bread flakes)
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 4 teaspoons (4 cloves) minced garlic
- ¼ cup (40 grams) minced shallots
- 3 tablespoons (12 grams) minced fresh parsley leaves
- 1 teaspoon (1 gram) minced fresh rosemary leaves
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Liquid Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) good olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 extra-large egg yolk
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), ensuring it reaches the full temperature while preparing the seafood.
- Clean and prepare large shrimp by peeling, deveining, and creating a butterfly cut while maintaining the decorative tail. Transfer shrimp to a mixing vessel.
- Drizzle olive oil and dry white wine over the shrimp, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let the seafood marinate at ambient temperature for enhanced flavor absorption.
- Create a luxurious herb-infused butter mixture by combining softened unsalted butter, finely chopped garlic, delicately minced shallots, freshly chopped parsley, fragrant rosemary, zesty red pepper flakes, bright lemon zest, tangy lemon juice, rich egg yolk, and crisp panko breadcrumbs.
- Thoroughly blend the butter mixture, adjusting seasoning with additional salt and pepper to complement the shrimp’s natural taste.
- Arrange the marinated shrimp in a single layer within an oven-safe ceramic or glass dish, positioning the tails elegantly upward. Pour any remaining marinade over the seafood.
- Generously spread the herbed butter mixture across the shrimp, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor infusion.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the shrimp are heated through and appear slightly bubbling.
- For a golden, crispy exterior, activate the broiler and cook for an additional 60 to 90 seconds, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve immediately while the dish remains piping hot, offering a vibrant and aromatic seafood experience.
