Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1.5 lbs large shrimp (21-25 count), peeled and deveined, tails on; salt, to taste; black pepper, to taste; 1 tsp paprika; 6 cloves garlic, minced or pressed; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted; 1/4 cup dry white wine; 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice; 1 tsp lemon zest; 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes; 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped and divided; 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for topping); 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs; lemon wedges, for serving; crusty bread, for serving

1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

In a large bowl, season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss well to ensure they are fully coated.

3

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, prepare the sauce by combining 1/2 cup of melted butter, pressed garlic, white wine, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, crushed red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons of the chopped fresh parsley. Stir to combine.

4

Pour about one-third of the butter sauce into the bottom of an oven-safe casserole dish.

5

Arrange the seasoned shrimp in a single layer over the sauce in the dish. You can overlap them slightly if needed.

6

Pour the remaining butter sauce evenly over the shrimp.

7

In a small bowl, make the topping by mixing 1 tablespoon of melted butter with the panko breadcrumbs and the remaining 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley.

8

Sprinkle the panko mixture evenly over the shrimp.

9

Bake at 400°F for about 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

10

For a golden-brown, crispy topping, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

11

Remove from the oven, garnish with more fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with lemon wedges and crusty bread for dipping.
