Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease 4 small ramekins with butter and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream and milk, whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Stir in the fresh parsley.
Divide the shrimp mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs with olive oil and a pinch of paprika. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of each ramekin.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the sauce is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
