Ingredients

• 2 pounds Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 5 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 2 small Shallots, finely chopped
• 1 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots, sautéing until they are fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the parsley, lemon juice, and white wine. Cook for another 2 minutes before removing the skillet from heat.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 5

Gradually pour the butter and herb mixture into the breadcrumb mixture, stirring until evenly combined. The mixture should resemble damp sand.

Step 6

Arrange the peeled and deveined shrimp in a single layer in a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 7

Evenly spread the breadcrumb mixture over the shrimp, ensuring all the shrimp are covered.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
