Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and zest. Mix until well blended.

- Add grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and half of the chopped parsley to the shrimp. Toss again to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Spread the shrimp out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t overlapping.
- Roast the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- If desired, broil the shrimp for an additional 1–2 minutes to achieve a golden, crispy finish on the Parmesan topping.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with the remaining parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
