Ingredients:  
2 pounds (12 to 15 per pound) shrimp, cleaned & deveined
3 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons dry white wine (optional)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 tablespoons (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 teaspoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
¼ cup minced shallots or sweet onion

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Butterfly the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Place the shrimp in a mixing bowl and toss gently with the olive oil, wine, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Allow to sit at room temperature while you make the butter and garlic mixture.
In a small bowl, mash the softened butter with the garlic, shallots, parsley, rosemary, red pepper flakes (if using), lemon zest, lemon juice, egg yolk, panko, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper until combined.
Starting from the outer edge of a 14-inch oval gratin dish, arrange the shrimp in a single layer cut side down with the tails curling up and toward the center of the dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the shrimp. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until hot and bubbly. If you like the top browned, place under a broiler for 1 minute. Serve with lemon wedges.

Personal Notes:
This recipe is from Barefoot Contessa; an easy dish to serve to guests as it can be prepared completely ahead up to the point of baking. Just refrigerate until ready to bake then slip it in the oven, adding a couple of minutes baking time. Great served with grilled asparagus.
