Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Butterfly the shrimp by making a deep cut along the back, being careful not to cut all the way through. Flatten them slightly and arrange them tail-up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, minced garlic, melted butter, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles damp sand.
Take a small amount of the stuffing mixture and press it firmly into the butterflied area of each shrimp, ensuring it adheres well. Repeat until all shrimp are stuffed.
Drizzle the stuffed shrimp lightly with olive oil to prevent the breadcrumbs from drying out and to promote browning.
Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the stuffing is golden brown.
Remove the shrimp from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Transfer to serving plates and garnish with fresh lemon wedges.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, like rice pilaf or steamed vegetables.
