Parmesan crusted Shrimp

Let me start this by saying you are welcome. This recipe is from a pin I now cannot locate and I followed the pin to the T. It was bad....so bad...so now you are getting the fix of the fudge up. (Yes fudge, this is a child friendly page) 

Parmesan Crusted Shrimp
1 bag frozen, de-veined, shimp. (Can have or not have tail) (approx 30-40 shrimp)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup parsley
3-4 cloves minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3-1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (fresh is best)

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
Arrange your shrimp in a 8x13 pan with as little overlap as possible. Drizzle olive oil over shrimp. Sprinkle garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper over the shrimp. 
Cover all this with foil and pop it in your preheated oven for 15 minutes.
After the 15 pull it out and flip all your shrimp over. (I also drained off the olive oil at this time) 
Drizzle with melted butter. 
Sprinkle parmesan and then bread crumbs over shrimp. 
Return to oven, uncovered for another 5-10 minutes.
I served them over tortellini with homemade alfredo sauce but they are delicious however you choose to eat them. 
Some pointers. Do not use precooked shrimp, you will end up overcooking and have rubbery shrimp. I used a range of butter amounts because you want enough butter to soak the shrimp but not to be too greasy so this is up to you. 
Final product:

Enjoy!
