INSTRUCTIONS
First, peat oven to 425 ° F (220 ° C). Combine the shrimp, lemon juice, white wine, shallots, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a pan or baking dish. Mix well to coat the shrimp.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining melted butter, breadcrumbs, garlic, Parmesan, red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley; mix well.
Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over shrimp and bake for 12 minutes, or until hot and bubbly, and shrimp are “just” cooked. Change oven settings to broil or broil for about an additional minute, until the top is crisp and golden.
Garnish with the remaining parsley, squeeze a drizzle of lemon juice and serve with lemon wedges. Happy Cooking Time.
