Step 1: Preheat the OvenPreheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Butter SauceIn a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, white wine, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3: Season the ShrimpAdd the shrimp to the bowl and toss until every shrimp is evenly coated with the garlic butter mixture.
Step 4: Assemble the DishArrange the shrimp in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour any remaining sauce over the shrimp.
Step 5: Add the ToppingIn a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the shrimp.
Step 6: BakeBake for 12–15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked and the topping is golden brown. For an extra crispy finish, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
