Juicy large shrimp coated in a panko–Parmesan crust and baked until golden and crunchy—no deep fryer needed. Ready in about 20 minutes, perfect as an appetizer, taco filling, salad topper, or quick weeknight protein.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in the melted butter (or drizzle with olive oil) until the crumbs are lightly moistened.
Pat shrimp very dry with paper towels. Toss in the crumb mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.
Arrange shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet with a little space between pieces.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until shrimp are pink and opaque and the coating is golden and crisp. Flip halfway through if desired.
