A delightful shrimp dish baked with a buttery garlic sauce and a crispy breadcrumb topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a casserole dish.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the butter.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 30 seconds.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the shrimp, white wine, green onion, salt, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Cook until the shrimp start to turn pink.
Cooking the shrimp partially ensures they don't overcook in the oven.
Transfer the shrimp mixture to the greased casserole dish.
Spread the mixture evenly for consistent baking.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the shrimp mixture.
For extra crunch, lightly toast the breadcrumbs before adding.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
Check the dish towards the end of baking to avoid over-browning.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Garlic Butter Shrimp Bake.
Garnish with fresh parsley or a lemon wedge for added flavor.
