Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until just opaque. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the panko breadcrumbs and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and toasted.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon zest.

Step 7

Spoon the buttery breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp on the baking sheet.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the breadcrumb topping is crisp and golden brown. Be sure to watch closely to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with extra chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
