Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F. This temperature guarantees that the shrimp cook evenly while achieving the desired level of crispiness.

In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, and parsley. Stir until well mixed to create an even coating mixture.

Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl with the coating mixture. Toss the shrimp until they're fully coated in the breadcrumb mixture.

Grease a baking dish with nonstick spray or a light layer of melted butter. Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer in the dish, ensuring they aren't overcrowded.

Drizzle melted butter or oil over the top of the shrimp to enhance the crispiness while baking.

Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they're pink and cooked through. For extra crispiness, turn on the broiler for an additional 2-4 minutes until the tops are golden brown.

Extra Tips

For the best results, make sure to choose fresh shrimp that are of good quality.

If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to increase the amount of cayenne pepper or drizzle some hot pepper sauce over the shrimp before serving.

Additionally, you can experiment with different types of breadcrumbs or add a splash of Dijon mustard to the coating mixture for an extra layer of flavor.

Serve with fresh lemon wedges and enjoy your delicious crispy baked shrimp!
