Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons Butter, unsalted or Halal-friendly spread
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 fresh lemon Lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup Parsley, fresh, chopped
Coating Ingredients
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional) Choose a Halal-certified brand
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by rinsing the shrimp in cold water and patting them dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with the sautéed garlic butter, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated.
  5. In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese (if using), along with a dash of salt and pepper.
  6. Dip each shrimp into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure they stick.
Cooking
  1. In the same skillet, place the breaded shrimp in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  2. Once done, plate the shrimp and garnish with extra parsley and lemon wedges. Serve hot.

Notes

Ensure that the shrimp are dry before breading for optimal crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain texture.
