Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Marinade
- 1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red chili flakes
Topping
- ½ cup plant-based Parmesan (plant-based)
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if preferred)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp plant-based butter (plant-based), cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with plant-based butter (plant-based) to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Let stand for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Spread the marinated shrimp evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour any leftover marinade over the shrimp.
- Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle plant-based Parmesan (plant-based), breadcrumbs, and fresh parsley on top. Dot the surface with small pieces of plant-based butter (plant-based) to help create a crispy golden crust.
- Bake Until Bubbly: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until shrimp are pink and opaque and the topping is golden brown. Let the bake rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle.
Notes
- Use fresh or properly thawed shrimp for best tenderness and flavor.
- Arrange shrimp in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Freshly minced garlic enhances the flavor better than pre-minced.
- Avoid overbaking shrimp to prevent rubbery texture.
- Allow the dish to rest after baking to keep shrimp juicy.
