Recipe Day: Crispy Broiled Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb thawed, peeled, deveined, legless shrimp
• 1/8 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 tablespoon shredded or grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• lemon juice

Directions

1. Place shrimp on a foil-lined broiler pan at room temperature. Coat with melted butter, breadcrumbs, cheese, and parsley.
2. Set broiler to HIGH and broil shrimp about 4 inches from the heating element for 4 minutes. Shrimp are ready when no longer translucent.
3. Spritz with lemon juice and serve!

I like how quickly and evenly shrimp turn out in the toaster oven -- you can quick thaw frozen shrimp about 15 minutes beforehand and have lunch, dinner, or a snack ready in minutes. Maia immediately inhaled 4 shrimp the first time I made this, so you know it's good.
