Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by butterflying the shrimps. Using a sharp knife, cut along the back of each shrimp, ensuring you don't cut all the way through. Open the shrimp slightly and remove the vein. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
- Tear the white bread into small pieces and place them in a food processor. Pulse until you get fine breadcrumbs.
- Add the fresh parsley, dill, and dried oregano to the breadcrumbs in the food processor. Pulse a few times to combine the herbs with the breadcrumbs.
- Drizzle in the olive oil and pulse until the mixture is evenly moist and well combined.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray oil.
- Take each butterflied shrimp and press it gently into the herb crumb mixture. Make sure to coat the shrimp evenly on both sides and then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Once all the shrimps are coated and arranged on the baking sheet, lightly spray them with cooking spray oil to help them brown and crisp up.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the shrimps are cooked through and the breadcrumb coating is golden and crispy.
- While the shrimps are baking, combine the mayonnaise, lime zest, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Transfer the baked shrimps to a serving platter. Serve the shrimps hot with the lime mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
Tips:
- Ensure Freshness: Use fresh shrimps for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimps, make sure they are thoroughly thawed and patted dry before cooking.
- Butterflying Shrimps: When butterflying the shrimps, make sure to cut along the back to devein them while keeping the tails on for a better presentation.
- Toasting Bread for Breadcrumbs: Toast the white bread slices until they are golden brown before processing them into breadcrumbs. This adds extra texture and flavor to the dish.
- Herb Mixture: For the herb mixture, you can also add other fresh herbs like basil or thyme to enhance the flavors according to your preference.
- Cooking Spray Oil: Lightly spray the cooking spray oil on the shrimps before baking to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice golden crust.
- Lime Mayonnaise: Prepare the lime mayonnaise ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator. This helps the flavors to meld together and makes it easier to serve.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the shrimps with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables to make it a complete meal. A wedge of lime on the side adds an extra zing.
Now that you have your butterflied shrimps with lime mayonnaise ready, it's time to serve and enjoy this delectable dish. The harmony of flavors from the herbed shrimp and the tangy lime mayonnaise will surely make it a favorite.
