Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried oregano)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Creating Shrimp Oreganata is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish or a large sheet pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix the Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped oregano, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
  4. Prepare the Shrimp: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Add the Topping: Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the shrimp, ensuring each piece is covered for that perfect crunch.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Check for Doneness: The shrimp should turn pink and opaque, while the topping should be crispy. If needed, you can broil the dish for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra color.
  8. Serve: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a moment before serving.

These straightforward steps will lead you to an incredible Shrimp Oreganata that is as delightful to prepare as it is to eat.
