CAMARONES AL HORNO (Baked Shrimp)

Time: 20-25 minutes

Serving Size: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients:

3 lbs. shrimp
2 tsp. of salt
¼ tsp. pepper
½ cup of broth
2 tbsp. dry white cooking wine (vino seco)
¼ lb. butter (1 stick, or 8 tbsp.)
6 cloves of garlic
6 tbsp. minced parsley
1½ cup toasted bread crumbs

Prep:

If you bought whole shrimp, devein, wash, and dry them well with paper towels or a cloth.
Thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Grease the ramekins with butter.

Directions:

Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper.
Divide them into six to eight individual ramekins greased with butter and top off with broth and vino seco.
In a saucepan, heat the garlic and butter over medium heat and cook until garlic turns golden brown.
Remove the sliced garlic cloves.
Mix the breadcrumbs and parsley with the garlic-infused butter, stirring until everything is well combined.
Generously sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over each ramekin and bake at 400 °F for 15 minutes.
Serve immediately.

Notes & Comments:

Deveining shrimp can be tedious and time consuming. I'd recommend buying pre-deveined shrimp to save some time.
Lemon would make a really great addition.
Next time I would add even more breadcrumbs.
Nitza recommends using Pyrex remekins, but you can really use anything, such as porcelain. You can also make this as one large dish.
Don't throw the garlic away. It can probably be used for another dish, or add to rice to add extra flavor.
