Baked Shrimp


Shrimp is so easy and versatile to cook for a weeknight meal.  This dish is no exception.  Serve over rice or orzo with a side of fresh vegetables, and you have a complete meal.  Not exactly the healthiest dish, but sure does taste good.  That's all that counts, right?  I hope you enjoy!
  • 1 to 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, cleaned, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry

Place shrimp in an even layer in a shallow lightly buttered baking dish. Combine butter, bread crumbs, cheese, salt, lemon juice, and sherry. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over shrimps. Bake at 325° for 25 minutes, or until shrimps are cooked. Turn the broiler on for a minute or two, just long enough to brown the topping.

Serves 3 to 4.
