Ingredients

• 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 lemon wedges (for serving)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and Italian seasoning. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Let the shrimp sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

Transfer the marinated shrimp to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the shrimp.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with a drizzle of olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) to lightly coat them. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the shrimp bake from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for extra tang. Pair with a side of rice, pasta, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
