Shrimp scampi is a classic Italian-American dish of shrimp sautéed in a flavorful sauce of butter, garlic, wine, and lemon juice. It's a quick and easy weeknight meal that's sure to please everyone at the table. This recipe takes the classic shrimp scampi up a notch by baking it in a pan in the oven, which creates a delicious crispy crust on the shrimp and helps to intensify the flavors of the sauce.

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. You can vary the amounts of some of the ingredients, like the cayenne and garlic, to suit your taste. That's what I've done here because we like spicy and garlicky. Yum! Serve over angel hair pasta or any pasta of your choosing.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Peel, devein, and butterfly the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Place the shrimp in a mixing bowl and toss gently with the olive oil, wine, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Allow to sit at room temperature while you make the butter and garlic mixture.
- In a small bowl, mash the softened butter with the garlic, shallots, parsley, rosemary, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg yolk, panko, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper until combined.
- Starting from the outer edge of a 14-inch oval gratin dish, arrange the shrimp in a single layer cut side down with the tails curling up and towards the center of the dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the shrimp. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until hot and bubbly. If you like the top browned, place under a broiler for 1 minute. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the squash and zucchini on a baking sheet, drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until golden, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the butter, red pepper flakes, garlic, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a couple of grinds of pepper in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter is melted, about 1 minute. Drizzle the bread evenly with 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture and sprinkle with the cheese; set aside. Toss the shrimp with the remaining butter mixture.
- After the squash and zucchini have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet and flip the vegetables, moving them to the center third of the baking sheet. Put the bread on one outer third of the baking sheet and the shrimp on the other. Slide the vegetables closer to the bread so that the shrimp is in a single, even layer. (This is to ensure even cooking.) Return to the oven and cook until the shrimp are cooked through and the bread is golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
SHEET-PAN SHRIMP SCAMPI
This has all the garlicky, lemony flavors of classic shrimp scampi, but is cooked on a sheet pan instead of a skillet. This allows the lemon to char and caramelize, and gives the shrimp a condensed, deep flavor from roasting at high heat. Serve it with crusty bread for dipping, or over pasta to absorb the sauce, and with more lemon juice and red pepper flakes showered on top for pizzazz.

Steps:
- Position a broiler rack 4 inches from heating element, then heat the broiler. If your oven is separate from your broiler, heat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Slice one of the lemons 1/4-inch thick, removing the seeds. Arrange lemon slices in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Cut the other lemon into wedges and reserve for serving.
- Brush lemon slices generously with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Carefully pour wine onto baking sheet, avoiding pouring directly over lemon slices.
- Transfer pan to the oven or broiler, and broil until the tops of the lemon slices are caramelized and charred in spots, and the wine has reduced by half, 6 to 12 minutes. (Broilers vary a lot in their intensity, so watch carefully.) If your broiler is in your oven, turn off the broiler and heat oven to 450 degrees. (It should heat up quickly since the broiler's been on.)
- Meanwhile, in a medium pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and add shrimp, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, the red-pepper flakes and black pepper; toss well to coat shrimp with butter.
- Transfer shrimp mixture to the baking sheet, and spread shrimp in an even layer on top of the lemon slices. Roast until shrimp are cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss lemons and shrimp well, taste, and add more salt if needed. Transfer shrimp, lemons and any pan juices to a serving platter and sprinkle with parsley, basil and more red-pepper flakes. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges for squeezing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the salt, pepper flakes, lemon zest and garlic. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Cut the baguette to open it up and then cut each half in half. Place the four pieces onto on side of the baking sheet. Brush with a bit of that garlic butter mixture and then top with the parmesan.
- In a large bowl, toss together the shrimp with the remaining garlic butter sauce. Pour out onto one side of the baking sheet.
- Place the cauliflower rice in the middle of the baking sheet and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Roast until the shrimp is bright pink and the bread has slightly browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with parsley. Serve with lemon sliced.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil adds a delicious flavor to the dish. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best results.
- Don't be afraid to add your own seasonings: The recipe calls for garlic, salt, and pepper, but you can also add other seasonings to taste. Some popular additions include lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and fresh herbs like basil or oregano.
- Serve immediately: Shrimp scampi is best served immediately after it's cooked. The pasta will continue to absorb the sauce as it sits, so it's best to eat it while it's still hot.
Conclusion:
Shrimp scampi is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's perfect for a busy family. It's also a great dish for entertaining guests. The combination of shrimp, pasta, and sauce is always a winner. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy seafood dish, give shrimp scampi a try. You won't be disappointed.
