BUTTERFLIED BAKED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spread the bread crumbs evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Watch them carefully as they burn very quickly. Remove from the oven and cool. Raise the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Butterfly the shrimp by slicing from the tail to the front on the top of the shrimp, where the vein was. Slice as deep as possible without cutting all the way through. Turn the shrimp over and make 3 small shallow slits horizontally across the shrimp, being careful not to cut all the way through. These slits will prevent the shrimp from curling during cooking. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Mix together the oregano, thyme, parsley, basil and garlic. Add the garlic herb mixture to the bread crumbs and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Brush a large ovenproof skillet with some of the melted butter, coating the bottom well. Dip the shrimp in the butter, opened side down, and then dredge in the bread crumbs, pressing so they stick. Place the shrimp, bread crumb side up, in the skillet in 1 layer.
- When all of the shrimp are in the pan, drizzle the top with a little more of the melted butter. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are just cooked through and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
- Toss the arugula with the olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Divide the arugula among 4 plates. Place 4 shrimp around each pile of arugula. Drizzle with more butter, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.
BUTTERFLIED SHRIMP (BAKED)
These delicious baked butterflied shrimp are plump, herb-y, buttery and a little crunchy. And, best of all, no frying and smelling up the kitchen. They take a bit more work than your basic shrimp cocktail, but worth it for a special occasion. The shrimp can either be served as an appetizer or as a main dish.

Steps:
- HEAT OVEN TO 400F/204C. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt butter for 30 seconds in a small bowl in the Microwave on High.
- TOAST CRUMBS and SEASON: Spread Panko or bread crumbs evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 6-7 minutes. Watch them carefully and stir halfway through, making sure they don't burn. Remove from the oven and transfer to shallow dish to cool. Add garlic and seasonings to bread crumbs and stir to combine. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- INCREASE OVEN TEMPERATURE TO 500F/260C. Line baking sheet with tin foil and spray with peanut oil or olive oil.
- BUTTERFLY SHRIMP: Here's a video on how to peel, devein and butterfly shrimp. Using a sharp paring knife, make a deep slice (but not all the way through) along the top of each shrimp where the black vein was (the humped part). Turn the shrimp over and make 3 small shallow slits horizontally across the shrimp (1/2 inch/1.27 cm apart) to help prevent the shrimp from curling during cooking. Pat dry with a paper towel (don't skip this step!).
- BREAD ONE SIDE OF SHRIMP: Dip each shrimp in melted butter and then dredge butterflied open side in bread crumbs, pressing so it sticks. Place shrimp, bread crumb side up, in foil-lined pan in a single layer. Repeat with all shrimp. Drizzle shrimp with a little more of melted butter. (hmm, I know what you're thinking...more butter?... go for it or skip it - up to you - I go for it). At this point, you can let the shrimp sit for an hour or so until you're ready to bake them.
- BAKE AND SERVE: Bake in center of oven for 5 minutes (for jumbo shrimp) and 4 minutes (for large shrimp) until just cooked through. Don't over cook. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, lemon wedges or cocktail sauce. Sprinkle on additional chopped parsley for color.

BROILED BUTTERFLIED SHRIMP
Somewhere, I got the idea that Shrimp Scampi is supposed to be broiled, yet most recipes I found sauteed. So I made this last night and my husband loved it.

Tips:
- To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Remove the dark vein that runs along the back of the shrimp.
- When butterflying the shrimp, be careful not to cut all the way through the shrimp. You want to leave the shrimp intact, but open it up so that you can stuff it with the Rockefeller filling.
- To make the Rockefeller filling, combine bread crumbs, butter, garlic, parsley, green onions, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- When stuffing the shrimp, be generous with the Rockefeller filling. You want to make sure that each shrimp is packed with flavor.
- To bake the shrimp, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the shrimp on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through.
Conclusion:
Butterflied shrimp Rockefeller is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The shrimp are juicy and flavorful, and the Rockefeller filling is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
