Baked Shrimp Scampi
I've probably been making this recipe since I got it from my Mom in about 1985. I have no idea where she got the recipe from. I've been changing it over the years, and now I call it my own. When we started dating back in 1997, my husband would every now and then order shrimp scampi at a restaurant and always regret it afterwards, saying none of them competed with mine.
Ingredients :
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- ½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
Directions :
- Place shrimp into a saucepan, cover with water to a depth of 2 inches over shrimp, and bring to a boil. Cover pan and cook until shrimp are pink, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.
- Combine butter, white wine, lemon juice, parsley, cayenne pepper, and garlic in a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Place casserole dish in oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- When butter is melted, lightly toss shrimp in butter mixture until coated. Sprinkle bread crumbs over shrimp.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs are lightly golden brown, about 15 minutes.
