Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined (tails on or off)
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
4 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup dry white wine (or sub chicken broth + 1 tsp lemon juice)
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Cooked pasta or crusty bread (for soaking up sauce!)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Shrimp & Sauce:

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, wine, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Add shrimp and toss to coat.

2. Assemble & Top:

Pour shrimp and sauce into a 9×13-inch baking dish (or oven-safe skillet).
In a small bowl, mix Panko, Parmesan, and parsley. Sprinkle evenly over shrimp.

3. Bake & Broil:

Bake 10-12 mins until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Broil 1-2 mins for extra crispy topping (watch closely!).

4. Serve & Enjoy!

Garnish with extra parsley and lemon wedges.
Serve over pasta, zucchini noodles, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

🔥 Pro Tips:

For extra garlic flavor, add 1 tsp garlic powder to the breadcrumbs.
No wine? Use broth + extra lemon or a splash of vinegar.
Make it ahead: Prep the shrimp and sauce, refrigerate, then bake when ready.
Add veggies: Toss in asparagus or cherry tomatoes before baking.
