Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Add the shrimp to a mixing bowl and toss with the olive oil, wine, 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Allow to stand for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the butter, garlic, shallot, parsley, cheese, basil, red pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the bottom of the dish with the tails pointing up.
Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp and then spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the shrimp.
Bake the shrimp scampi for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. If you'd like the top even more golden, place under the broiler for 1 minute.
Serve with extra grated parmesan cheese, lemon wedges and chopped basil, if desired.
