Ingredients

• 1 lb jumbo shrimp, raw
• 4 tbsp butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 whole lemon, juiced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp paprika (optional for garnish)
• 1 whole lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Peel and devein the jumbo shrimp, leaving the tails on for presentation. Using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly each shrimp by slicing along the back and opening it flat. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Brush the mixture generously over the butterflied shrimp.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Stir to combine evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the shrimp, pressing gently to help it adhere to the surface.

Step 6

Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and the breadcrumb topping is golden and crisp.

Step 7

Remove the shrimp from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with extra parsley and lemon wedges on the side.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
