Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place them in a separate bowl. Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
One at a time, dip each shrimp into the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres. Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and the Parmesan coating is golden and crispy.
Remove the shrimp from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp. Enjoy!
