1-First, start by preheating your oven to 425°F, as this temperature ensures the shrimp cook evenly and the topping browns nicely. Prepare the shrimp by cleaning, peeling, and deveining the 1.5 pounds of colossal shrimp, then season them with salt and pepper to taste for a solid flavor base.

2-Next, sauté the garlic in 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until it’s fragrant, which only takes a minute or two. In a bowl, mix in the breadcrumbs, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, crushed red pepper, kosher salt, and grated hard cheese to create the topping it’s this step that really brings the dish to life with its zesty, herbaceous notes.

3-Arrange the seasoned shrimp in a single layer in a baking dish, then top them evenly with the breadcrumb mixture. Pour in the 3/4 cup of low-sodium chicken stock and 1/4 cup of dry white wine if you’re using it, add the cubed butter, and drizzle with a bit more olive oil for extra moisture.

4-Bake the dish for about 10 minutes, then switch to broiling for 1-2 minutes to get that golden-brown crust on top. Once it’s done, serve it hot with lemon wedges and crusty bread to enjoy the flavorful sauce. This method keeps things simple and highlights the fresh ingredients, making it a hit for everyday dinners or special events.
