• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Gently spray two baking trays with cooking spray and set them aside.

Prepare the Garlic Butter and Bread

• In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic and parmesan cheese. Season with garlic salt, fresh chopped parsley, pepper and paprika. Mix until smooth.
• Grab a large loaf of Italian bread and cut it in half lengthwise - place half of the loaf open faced on a baking tray. You can wrap and freeze the other half loaf.
• Spread a light coating of garlic butter on the inside of the loaf gently pressing down on the center to form an indent or bowl shape. Any extra garlic butter can be refrigerated. This will depend on the size of your loaf.
• Bake the half loaf of Italian bread in the oven until the butter is melted and the bread is slightly crispy on the edges, about 8-10 minutes. For an extra crispy top, try broiling the loaf for the last 1-2 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Prepare the Shrimp

• Pat the peeled and deveined shrimp dry and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic, shallots, parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the shrimp are well coated.
• Place the shrimp on the second baking tray and cook them for 8-9 minutes. You’ll want to make sure they are pink in color and fully cooked through.
• Remove the shrimp and gently spoon them into the garlic bread bowl. Top everything with chopped scallions and serve with extra lemon wedges on the side. Serve and enjoy!
