Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and mix in 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Add 1 pound of shrimp to the garlic butter mixture and toss to coat.

In another bowl, mix 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and ¼ cup of chopped parsley.

Arrange the coated shrimp on the baking sheet and sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over each shrimp.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Let cool slightly before serving with a squeeze of fresh lemon, if desired.
