Gamberi Aragonati

Big shrimp crusted with garlic and crunchy bread crumbs were always a part of our family's Christmas Eve celebration. My father would peel and stuff pans full of fresh sweet shrimp, which would disappear faster than you can say Buon Natale! Easy to do, they are a pleasure to enjoy any time of the year. Don't forget the last squeeze of fresh lemon juice; it really brings out the flavor of the shrimp. Aragonati appears to be a dialect word for gratinati, meaning food that is baked under a browned crust. It has nothing to do with the herb oregano, though it is often misspelled oreganati.
