Shrimp Scampi has always been one of those dishes that's intimidated me for no reason. I thought for a long time that only professionals or gourmets would know how to make scampi correctly. When I saw this recipe and how simple it was, I decided to give it a try. I've modified the recipe a little, so here it goes.
Shrimp Scampi Bake
original recipe & photo on allrecipes.com
Prep: 30 min, Cook: 15 min, TOTAL: 45 mins
6 servings
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) - the original recipe calls for 1 cup butter...WAY TOO MUCH!
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp Dijon style mustard
1 tbsp garlic, minced or chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 pounds medium raw shrimp, shelled, deveined
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. In small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, mustard, lemon juice, garlic and parsley. When the butter melts completely, remove from heat.
3. Arrange shrimp in shallow baking dish. Pour butter mixture over the shrimp.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
(I served this over wheat pasta...yum!) Enjoy!
