- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine 1 ½ pounds large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined), 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.
- In a small bowl mix ½ cup Italian bread crumbs with 4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese.
- Sprinkle the bread crumb–parmesan mixture evenly over the coated shrimp and toss gently so the crumbs adhere. If needed, press the crumbs onto the shrimp with your hands or a spatula.
- Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 7 minutes, then switch the oven to broil and broil 1–2 minutes more, watching closely, until the topping is golden and the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
