Easy Shrimp Oreganata
Italians traditionally eat a 7 course fish dinner on Christmas Eve. This is a very easy dish that you can make ahead of time and bring it to a party to bake when you arrive. Your friends and family will not be disappointed. The trick is to use a pretty baking dish that you can serve in as well.

2 Lemons; grate 1 rind finely and juice, cut 1 in pieces for serving
½ Stick Butter, room temperature

2 Pounds Medium Shrimp, cleaned and de-veined
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl combine bread crumbs, minced garlic, oregano, lemon rind, ½ of the lemon juice, olive oil (you want the mixture to be damp, not wet, add more or less depending on the bread crumbs) and salt and pepper to taste.
- Using ½ of the butter, coat the bottom of a large and presentable baking dish.
- Arrange the cleaned shrimp so that they are all touching each other, they will shrink in the cooking process.
- Cover the shrimp with the mixture; pack it down tightly into the baking pan.
- If you opt to add parmesan cheese, sprinkle before baking.
- Dab the rest of the butter evenly around the baking dish.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
