Easy Baked Shrimp or Fish

Yield: Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

1/4 container Crisco® Vegetable Oil OR 1/4 cup Crisco® Pure Canola Oil
1-1/2 pounds peeled and de-veined shrimp, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces OR 1-1/2 pounds fish fillets, cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
1 tablespoon jarred minced garlic OR 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges (optional)

Preparation Directions:

1. Heat oven to 475°F.

2. Pour oil into 13x9x2-inch ovenproof baking dish. Add shrimp. Sprinkle with garlic, salt and pepper. Toss with bread crumbs and parsley.

3. Bake shrimp 5 minutes. Turn gently with slotted spatula. Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until pink and bread crumbs are brown. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired.

Note: Shrimp that is already peeled and deveined can be found at many fish counters or frozen. If using shell-on shrimp, add 15 to 20 minutes to the preparation time. The dish can be prepared up to the cooking a few hours in advance, and refrigerated, tightly covered.
