Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is crucial for achieving the perfect crispy texture.
  2. Rinse the jumbo shrimp under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and half a teaspoon of salt. Mix until well blended.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, the remaining salt, and black pepper. Toss the shrimp in this mixture until they are evenly coated.
  5. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth and 2 tablespoons of melted butter into a baking pan. Place the pan in your preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
  6. Carefully remove the heated pan from the oven and arrange the shrimp in a single layer, then sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture.
  7. Bake the shrimp for about 12 minutes until opaque and slightly pink. For extra crunch, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
  8. Remove the shrimp from the oven and let them rest briefly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
