Shrimp
Five Star Shrimp
Do try this recipe ~ it's one of my favorites. I especially like to prepare it ahead of time when we're having company and just pop the baking dish into the oven a few minutes before we're ready to eat.
1 pound shrimp
3 slices bread
2 cloves garlic
3 sprigs parsley
2 whole limes
4 Tablespoons romano cheese, freshly grated
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
If using frozen shrimp defrost before starting. Shell, devein and dry the shrimp.
Using a blender process enough bread slices to get 1 cup (usually 2 1/2 slices)
Mince the garlic, set aside. Wash the parsley, dry and chop, set aside. Squeeze the lime and strain the juice, set aside. Grate the Romano and set aside.
Pour the chicken broth into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer (or heat in the microwave for 1 1/2-2 minutes).
In another small saucepan heat the olive oil over medium heat until it's about to smoke. Take off the heat and add the garlic, basil, oregano, black pepper and paprika. Return to the heat for 30 seconds. Add warmed chicken broth and cook stirring for 1-2 minutes until it begins to sizzle. Remove from heat, stir in lime juice, 2 Tbsp of the Romano cheese and the chopped parsley.
Combine the prepared shrimp and the seasoned chicken broth; mix and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Scatter half of the fresh bread crumbs over the bottom of an ovenproof dish that is large enough to hold the shrimp in a single layer. Lift the shrimp out of the marinade/sauce and place over the bread crumbs trying not to overlap too much. There should be some sauce left from the shrimp in the bowl.
Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs on top of the shrimp, drizzle the remaining sauce over the breadcrumbs and sprinkle with the remaining 2 Tbsp Romano cheese.
Bake at 425 for 8 minutes and then place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to brown or bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes.
While the shrimp bake, chop some additional fresh parsley, and slice the remaining lime into wedges.
Transfer the baked shrimp with the browned side up to warm plates, sprinkle with additional parsley, garnish with a lime and serve immediately.
