Kittencal's Baked Jumbo Lemon-Garlic Parmesan Shrimp image

You won't find this recipe anywhere else, I developed this using jumbo shrimp and I would strongly advise to use only very large or jumbo for this and leave the tails intact, depending on the size and amount of the shrimp used a small amount of breadcrumb mixture might be left over --- I have listed the cayenne pepper as only optional you may adjust amount to suit heat level or omit, I like to add it in for some heat :)
