Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather all your ingredients to streamline the cooking process.
  2. In a medium baking dish, combine 1/2 cup of dry white wine with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Heat in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until melted and bubbly.
  3. Prepare marinade by mixing the remaining melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Add the jumbo shrimp and toss until coated.
  4. In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt. Drizzle in the remaining melted butter and mix thoroughly.
  5. Layer the marinated shrimp in the baking dish, pour the garlic butter sauce over them, and sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top.
  6. Bake for approximately 12 minutes until the shrimp is opaque and the topping is golden brown. Broil for an extra 1–2 minutes for crunch.
  7. Remove from oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the shrimp in the baking dish for even cooking and maintain that perfect crispy texture. Fresh lemon juice and garlic make a significant difference in flavor.
