Shrimp Oreganata is a classic Italian-American dish featuring tender shrimp topped with a crispy, garlicky breadcrumb mixture and baked to golden perfection. Finished with lemon, it’s a bright and flavorful appetizer or main.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons white wine (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in a baking dish.
  3. In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and stir until evenly moistened.
  5. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture over each shrimp, pressing lightly to adhere.
  6. Drizzle lemon juice and white wine around the shrimp.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked through and topping is golden.
  8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy variation.
  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
