Steps:

• 1. Gather your ingredients.
• 2. Chef's Note: There are many ways to measure shrimp. Names such as: jumbo or cocktail are descriptive, but not that accurate. I mentioned in the ingredients that these shrimp are 21/25, and that just means they are of a size that it takes 21 to 25 to make a pound.
• 3. Place a rack in the upper middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
• 4. Combine the ingredients, with the exception of the breadcrumbs and the shrimp, into a small saucepan.

• 9. Add three shrimp to each baking dish.
• 10. Divide the breadcrumb mixture between the baking dishes, and sprinkle over the shrimp.
