Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley.

Add shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.

Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes; mix well.

Transfer the shrimp mixture to a baking dish in a single layer.

In a separate bowl, mix bread crumbs, olive oil, and grated parmesan cheese.

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the shrimp.

Drizzle with white wine and lemon zest for added flavor.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until shrimp are opaque and breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Garnish with additional parsley and lemon wedges before serving.
