Step-by-Step Instructions for Magic Crispy Baked Shrimp

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Place thawed shrimp in a single layer on the baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper.
Generously sprinkle the panko mixture over the shrimp and press down gently to adhere.
Bake for about 12 minutes until shrimp are opaque and topping is golden brown.
For extra crunch, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and serve immediately.
