Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh lemon wedges for serving

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Breadcrumb Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.

      Set Up the Egg Wash: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten.

        Coat the Shrimp:

          - Dip each shrimp first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's well coated.

            - Next, transfer the shrimp to the breadcrumb mixture and press lightly to coat each side evenly. Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet.

              Drizzle and Bake: Gently drizzle the olive oil over the shrimp to promote crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.

                Serve: Once baked, remove the shrimp from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm with fresh lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped parsley on top for added flavor and color.
