Toasted panko Parmesan crusted shrimp is super easy to make and comes together in under 30 minutes, making it a perfect, easy weeknight dinner. The panko is toasted until golden brown in a frying pan with butter, then is sprinkled atop the shrimp, which are bathed in a lemon, butter, garlic sauce. This dinner goes great with angel hair pasta, some crusty bread, or some zoodles for low carb.
Gather up your ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
In a medium skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter on medium and cook until it begins to foam but not brown. Add the panko breadcrumbs, stirring thoroughly to combine and allow them to turn a golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 9 x 13 baking pan, spreading it around evenly. Add the shrimp, covering the pan in one layer as best you can.
Sprinkle the shrimp with Kosher salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic, and lemon juice. Pour the mixture over the shrimp.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the Parmesan to the panko breadcrumbs and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle the topping onto the shrimp.
Bake the shrimp for 10-12 minutes, or until pink and cooked through.
