Shell shrimp, leaving tail intact. Slit the shrimp lengthwise from the underside, opening completely and exposing the vein which is then disposed of. Rinse shrimp and pat dry. In a bowl, mix the bread crumbs, garlic, parlsey, salt, pepper, oregano and melted butter. Reserve some butter for basting. Add enough wine to make the mixture pliable. Divide the stuffing among the shrimp and fill the exposed cavity, pressing gently. Place on a baking sheet and brush the tops with reserved butter. Sprinkle with paprika. Broil shrimp until nicely browned, 5-10 minutes.
