Instructions
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 3. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
Step 4. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 5. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the shrimp.
Step 6. In a separate bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and half of the parsley.
Step 7. Sprinkle the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp.
Step 8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Step 9. Switch the oven to broil for 1–2 minutes to achieve a golden-brown topping, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Step 10. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes.
Step 11. Garnish with the remaining parsley and chopped chives, if using.
Step 12. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in a 325°F (165°C) oven for 8–10 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Avoid microwaving for extended periods, as shrimp can become rubbery.
Freeze baked shrimp for up to 2 months in a freezer-safe container.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Serve leftovers over pasta, rice, or a fresh salad for an easy second meal.
