Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:
- Prepare the Coating:
- In a shallow dish, place the flour.
