Ingredients

Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Shrimp: Arrange the peeled and deveined shrimp in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Make the Topping:

  1. Mix the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the shrimp.
  2. Prepare the Breadcrumb Mixture: In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and olive oil. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

Assemble and Bake:

  1. Add the Topping: Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp, making sure they are fully covered.
  2. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through, and the topping is golden brown.
  3. Broil (Optional): For an extra crispy topping, broil the dish for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with additional parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately.
