DIRECTIONS

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add panko and stir until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and mix in 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Wipe out skillet.
Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter with olive oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add red onion and saute until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and crushed red pepper, and saute 1 minute. Add shrimp and saute until barely opaque in center, about 1 minute per side. Add white wine and simmer until liquid is slightly thickened and reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in remaining parsley.
Transfer to a shallow bowl. Sprinkle sauteed panko over the top and serve with lemon wedges.
