Preparation of Oven-Baked Lime Shrimp Gratin
First, preheat the oven to 430°F, then take the frozen shrimp and arrange them spaced apart on a baking sheet 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 it is used up and add the tablespoon of oil (you can also use two tablespoons) distributing it well.
Bake in a well-preheated oven at 430°F and cook for 25 minutes, after which it’s done, the oven-baked lime shrimp gratin is ready to be enjoyed!
The oven-baked lime shrimp gratin 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’ll get about 6 portions, or if you’re very hungry and use them as a main dish, 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.
