Bowl

Mix in the panko crumbs.This is what it looks like all mixed together.You can take out a little bit of the butter before you add the panko to use for something else if you are not going to use the full 2 pounds of shrimp. More on that in a minute.I was only making dinner for 3 people so I only used a little over a pound and a quarter of shrimp.They were already peeled and cleaned so all I had to do was butterfly them so that they would sit all pretty like they do. Just cut a small slit in the bottom of the shrimp and fan out the pieces a little so that it will stand up with its tail curled over like this. I told you that it looks fancy!

Ingredients you will need

Butter

Shrimp

Panko

Mix together the olive oil, wine, and salt and pepper for the marinade.

Ingredients you will need

Salt And Pepper

Olive Oil

Marinade

Wine

Let them sit for a bit in the marinade. Since there is no citrus in this marinade I think that you can get away with a few hours before you use them. I let them sit in the fridge for about 2 hours before I assembled them and let them sit again for about another 2 hours.Arrange the shrimp in either a 14-inch gratin dish or in single serving dished like so.

Ingredients you will need

Marinade

Shrimp

Place the cut side down and let the tails curl over and arrange the shrimp in a circular shape.Carefully spread the butter mixture over the top of the shrimp. You may have to do a little tail rearranging.

Ingredients you will need

Butter

Shrimp

Spread

Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp. At this point, I put them back in the fridge until I was ready to bake them off. About 2 hours or so.

Marinade

Equipment you will use

Oven

Bake the shrimp in a 425 degree oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until they are hot and bubbly and the shrimp have turned pink. I wanted my butter mixture to get a little color so I put them under the broiler for a minute or so also.I cooked some pasta and tossed it in some of the leftover garlic butter, a glug (that is a technical term obviously) of white wine, and a few squeezes of lemon juice. Gave it a good sprinkling of salt and pepper and served it on the side with some lemon wedges. I also steamed some asparagus (which is divine dipped in the garlic butter after the shrimp are gone) and had some crusty bread to sop up the rest of the butter.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc

Shrimp works really well with Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Mark West Pinot Grigio with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
