Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or aluminum foil
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Tongs
  • Grater (for Parmesan cheese)
  • Basting brush (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs Panko or regular
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Prepare the Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Coat the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Dip each shrimp into the melted butter, then coat it with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks. Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle the coated shrimp with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
  • Bake the Shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. If you want an extra crispy crust, you can broil the shrimp for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Serve: Remove the shrimp from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of fresh flavor.
