How To Make shrimp scampi

• 
  Step 1
  To make the topping, mix together the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese (the kind from a can is okay; 3 cheese blend is also okay.) in a small bowl. Add the melted butter, stirring until crumbs are evenly coated.
• 
  Step 2
  Pour the crumb mixture into a small skillet over medium/medium-high heat. Stir constantly until crumbs begin to toast and brown lightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
• 
  Step 3
  Place a large skillet over medium/medium-high heat; add the olive oil. When oil is heated, add the shrimp. Saute shrimp for 2-3 minutes, until pink and no longer translucent.
• 
  Step 4
  Remove shrimp to a bowl; cover and keep warm.
• 
  Step 5
  Add finely minced garlic to the skillet in which the shrimp were cooked. Saute garlic for a minute or two over medium heat, adding a few extra drops of oil if necessary (do not brown the garlic.)
• 
  Step 6
  Add the white wine and the juice of the lemon. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture has reduced by half. After the liquid it is reduced, reduce heat to low, add the Italian seasoning, and stir.
• 
  Step 7
  Add the softened butter; stir to combine.
• 
  Step 8
  Add cooked shrimp to sauce; add parsley, if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• 
  Step 9
  Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and prepared panko-parm topping just before serving.
