Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the fresh breadcrumbs, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped basil, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly mixed with the herbs and oil.
  4. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in a baking dish. Evenly distribute the breadcrumb mixture over the shrimp, pressing it down gently to adhere.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
