It's rare to find a recipe where the shrimp is broiled, rather than sauteed these days. But once you try this broiled you will never go back to the skillet. Use the largest shrimp you can get for best results.

Time 16m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

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:

Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter and more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you must use frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
Cook the shrimp just until they are opaque: Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they turn from translucent to opaque.
Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil adds a rich flavor to the scampi. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is made from ripe olives.
Don't crowd the shrimp in the pan: If you crowd the shrimp, they will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
Serve the scampi immediately: Scampi is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp will become tough if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Shrimp scampi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give shrimp scampi a try.
