Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup panko bread crumbs
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, melted butter, fresh orange juice, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix together the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the marinated shrimp and toss again to ensure even seasoning.

Step 6

Transfer the shrimp and the marinade to the prepared baking dish. Spread them out in a single layer for even cooking.

Step 7

Sprinkle the panko bread crumbs evenly over the shrimp to create a crispy topping.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. If desired, broil on high for an additional 2 minutes to brown the breadcrumbs.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve the Florida Shrimp Bake hot with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
