Time 16m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs shrimp (the larger the better)
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Butterfly shrimp by cutting partially through the back and "flattening". Rinse and dry with paper towels. In a shallow baking dish toss shrimp with the olive oil to coat, season with salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle the remaining ingredients over the shrimp.
  • Make sure shrimp is in a single layer in the baking dish. Broil 5 to 6 minutes, until cooked through and opaque. There should be no need to turn shrimp and the edges will probably be a little browned. Spoon any accumulated pan juices over the shrimp and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, large shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or pan to prevent the shrimp from sticking.
  • Heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat before adding the shrimp.
  • Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough.
  • Add the scampi sauce and cook for an additional minute or two, or until the sauce is heated through.
  • Serve the shrimp scampi over pasta, rice, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Broiled shrimp scampi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The shrimp is cooked to perfection and the scampi sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve it over your favorite side dish and enjoy a delicious meal that the whole family will love.
