Source of Recipe


Italian Holiday Cooking






List of Ingredients



• 1 cup fresh bread crumbs, made from Italian or French bread
  
• 1/3 cup very finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  
• 1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
  
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  
• About 1/4 cup olive oil
  
• 1-1/2 lbs. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  
• Lemon wedges
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees (F). Lightly oil a large baking pan.
   
   
2. In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Add 3 tablespoons oil, or enough to moisten the crumbs.
   
   
3. Arrange the shrimp in the pan in a single layer, curling each one into a circle. Spoon a little of the crumb mixture onto each shrimp. Drizzle with a little more oil. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp, or until the shrimp turn pink and the crumbs are lightly browned.
   
   Serve with lemon wedges.
