Somewhere, I got the idea that Shrimp Scampi is supposed to be broiled, yet most recipes I found sauteed. So I made this last night and my husband loved it.

Ingredients

6 serv.
  • jumbo shrimp, thawed (if frozen)1 lb
  • garlic cloves2

    sliced thin

  • butter4 tablespoons
  • salt
  • cayenne pepper
  • Italian style breadcrumbs1⁄8 cup
  • panko breadcrumbs1⁄8 cup
  • parmesan cheese, grated1⁄8 cup
  • fresh parsley, chopped1⁄8 cup

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat broiler. Peel, devein, and butterfly shrimps. Arrange butterflied shrimp in a shallow baking dish in a single layer. Season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper.

  2. 2

    In a small skillet, melt the butter and saute garlic for 5 minutes or so. Do not allow to brown. Remove garlic. Pour about half evenly over shrimp.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle arranged shrimp with both types of bread crumbs. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Pour remainder of butter evenly over shrimp.

  4. 4

    Broil about 3 to 5 minutes until shrimp or bread crumbs begin to brown and shrimp are opaque. Turn shrimps over and broil another 3 to 5 minutes until done.
