Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the white wine (or chicken broth), lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat.
Combine the cooked pasta, shrimp, and sauce in the prepared casserole dish. Toss gently to evenly coat.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and panko breadcrumbs.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole, then drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra olive oil on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
