This is one of those classic dishes that doesn’t need anything more. It’s always about allowing the subtle sweetness and brininess of the shrimp to coexist peacefully with the garlic and oil. You need some butter to balance the olive oil for the taste of the sauce. Once these ingredients come together, you will understand. My daughter Ava loves to bake them like this and I fell in love the first time she made it!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1-1/2 pounds medium shrimp, shelled and deveined

Kosher salt

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

¾ cup dry white wine

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 dashes Tabasco

2 dashes Worcestershire

½ cup flat leaf parsley, chopped

Zest and juice from 1 large lemon

½-cup Panko breadcrumbs, toasted

Yield: 3-4 servings

Instructions

  1. Quick sear the shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the Canola oil. Season the shrimp on all sides with salt. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, remove from the heat and quickly arrange the shrimp in a single layer, with a little space between each and return the pan to the heat. Brown the shrimp on their first side over high heat, 1-2 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon of butter in small pieces around the shrimp to add flavor as they brown. Turn the shrimp on their second side and brown 1-2 minutes. The goal here is not to fully cook the shrimp but to brown the exterior and develop flavor. Transfer the shrimp to a baking sheet.
  2. Preheat oven to 425F / heat broiler.
  3. Make the sauce: In the pan where you cooked the shrimp, add the remaining butter, garlic, a pinch salt and white wine. Simmer over medium heat, stirring, until the wine all but reduces down and the garlic is tender, 3-5 minutes. Arrange the shrimp in the sauce and warm through over low heat. Baste the shrimp in the sauce. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes.  Cook until they turn pink but are still tender, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the Tabasco, Worcestershire, parsley, a few grates lemon zest and the lemon juice.
  4. Finish: Transfer all juice and shrimp in a single layer to a baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with breadcrumbs with breadcrumbs. Broil or bake 2-3 minutes until breadcrumbs are browned.
