Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.

- 3. In the same skillet, reduce heat and melt remaining butter. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Deglaze with wine (or broth) and simmer for 1–2 minutes. Add heavy cream and red pepper flakes, simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened. Adjust seasoning.
- 4. Return shrimp to skillet, toss gently in the garlic cream, then transfer to the baking dish.
- 5. Mix breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan and sprinkle evenly over the shrimp and sauce.
- 6. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the top is golden. Optionally broil for 1–2 minutes for extra browning.
- 7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
