Preparation of Baked Lime Shrimp with Breadcrumbs
First, preheat the oven to 428°F, then take the shrimp still frozen and arrange them spaced on the oven tray lined with parchment paper, leave them while you prepare the breading.
In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, salt, chives, grated zest of 1 lime, and pepper (according to your taste).
Spread the breading over the shrimp until finished and add the tablespoon of oil (you can also use two tablespoons) spreading it well.
Bake in a hot oven at 428°F and cook for 25 minutes, then it’s done, the baked lime shrimp with breadcrumbs are ready to be enjoyed!
The baked lime shrimp with breadcrumbs can be served hot or cold; the recipe indicates 3 portions but it depends on how you use them: for example, if used as an appetizer, you can get about 6 portions or if you are very hungry and use them as a main course, they can easily be 2 portions!
If you don’t like chives, you can replace them with parsley.
I recommend serving them with a few slices of fresh lime on the table.
