How to Make Barefoot Contessa's Baked Shrimp Scampi

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel and devein 1 pound of shrimp, leaving tails on. Butterfly the shrimp by cutting lengthwise almost all the way through.
In a large bowl, toss shrimp with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup dry white wine, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside at room temperature.
While shrimp marinates, prepare the butter mixture: In a medium bowl, mash together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, zest of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 large egg yolk, 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
Arrange shrimp in a single layer, cut-side down, in a 14-inch oval gratin dish, curving tails towards the center.
Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp.
Spread the butter mixture evenly over the shrimp.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until shrimp is pink and opaque and sauce is bubbly.
For a browner top, broil for 1 minute, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
