Directions

  1. Heat oven to 425 F.
  2. If using frozen shrimp, thaw according to package directions. Pat dry.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix olive oil, wine, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the shrimp, toss gently and allow to sit at room temperature while preparing the butter and garlic mix.
  4. In a small bowl, mash the softened butter with the garlic, shallots, parsley, rosemary, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg yolk, panko crumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until well combined.

Spread the garlic butter mix evenly over the shrimp. Bake for 10-12 minutes until hot and bubbly. Place under broiler for 1 – 2 minutes to lightly brown the top.
