This delicious Garlicky Baked Shrimp recipe only takes about 20 minutes to make, and it’s full of the BEST garlicky, lemony, buttery flavors.
Guys, I’ve gotta admit, I’ve been having way too much fun lately digging back into the recipe archives and re-introducing some of my old favorites back here on the homepage.
With 1,200+ recipes here on the blog, there are just too many good ones that get buried!
Especially anything more than 3 or so years old, which in internet years, means they were essentially written on ancient stone tablets. ;)
Don’t worry, I’ve got three brand-spankin’ new recipes comin’ atcha next week. But for today, I have one more oldie-but-goodie that I’ve been meaning to re-introduce to you for years. It originally debuted on the blog 6 years ago, and has been a reader favorite and one of my personal favorites ever since. Because it’s ridiculously quick and easy to make, it’s made with the best buttery-lemony-and-ultra-garlicky flavors, and it has this way of always impressing a crowd. (Seriously, everyone thinks it’s so fancy!)
But. Every time I see its small, out-of-focus, old photo pop up on Pinterest, a tiny part of me cringes and I feel like it’s just begging for a makeover. So this week, I re-made and re-photographed it, and then promptly re-enjoyed it for the zillionth time. And now I’m hoping that any of you who weren’t around 6 years ago will get to enjoy it too.
It’s my Garlicky Baked Shrimp!

Seriously, this recipe truly couldn’t be easier.
Just toss a bunch of raw shrimp with some white wine and lots of chopped fresh garlic.
Then mix up a some butter and panko for a crispy topping.
Spread the shrimp out in an even layer in a baking dish, and sprinkle it evenly with the Panko mixture.
Bake it up for about 7 minutes, then switch over to the broiler and let the Panko get a little extra golden and crispy.
And then in less than 20 minutes total, this pan of garlicky deliciousness will be yours to enjoy.
See? SO GOOD!
Feel free to fiddle around with the recipe and add some different seasonings if you’d like. Or if you want to toss some quick-cooking veggies in there with the shrimp (I made this with chopped asparagus the other day!), that can work too. I typically serve this with a big salad, and some roasted veggies on the side. But the serving option sky is the limit. Just make it. ;)
And enjoy!

Quick, easy and delicious! Served over linguini.
Hi Ali! Thanks for sharing this recipe! A few things were left out. Can you help with a few details? What size shrimp did you use (won’t the size make a difference, especially in the baking time?). Did you use salted or unsalted butter? (won’t this make a difference, especially in the saltiness of the shrimp?).
Here are a couple of notes from my experiences- 1. add a pinch (or two) of crushed red pepper flakes to the bread crumbs for an additional level of flavor and zing!; 2. add a note of caution to remind your patrons to thoroughly defrost the shrimp before baking them! I know, this sounds over-dramatic, but too many home cooks take it for granted that a rinse under cold running water is enough to defrost shrimp. It is not! IMO, it is best practice to defrost shrimp in the bag that it comes in from the supermarket in the refrigerator, and this may take as long as 2 days! Then, the shrimp should be thoroughly dried before the baking; 3. One last tip …. bacon! Yes, bacon! Why? Because everything, even shrimp, tastes better with bacon!.
Stay safe, Ali!
Really tasty and easy
Delicious! I used a combo of wine and chicken broth for the liquid and even my husband (not a seafood lover) enjoyed it.
Awesome and easy!! Loved it!!
This recipe is reminiscent of a classic dish served at Chicagp’s famous Blackhawk restaurant in the 60’s. It was called Shrimp de Jongue and I remember ordering it every time my family dined there. The restaurant is long gone but thanks for the memories (and the recipe) !
can b/s thighs be sub. for shrimp?
I made this last night, and even though my oven quit working right as it was time to broil the top, it was delicious! I added parmesan cheese to the panko bread crumbs and then made a lemon garlic butter sauce, and served all over spaghetti noodles. My husband, who is not a huge fan of garlic, raved about this dish. Thank you for a great recipe!
This was so easy and incredibly delicious!! I made it with cilantro lime rice in the instant pot! Great summer meal!! Thanks for the great recipe!
Absolutely delicious! We added a little parmesan cheese and served it on pasta. ☺️
