Making Homemade Bread Crumbs.
I like to use coarse bread crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine salt, pepper, lemon juice, garlic, and mayonnaise; stir until well blended. Place shrimp in a large re-sealable plastic bag, pour marinade over shrimp and close bag. Marinate in the refrigerator several hours or overnight. Remove from refrigerator; drain, reserving marinade in a bowl.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
To remaining marinade, add melted butter and olive oil; pour over shrimp. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until opaque in center (cut to test). Remove from oven. Serve with individual serving plates.
Also great served with sliced baguette bread. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
