Description

This easy Baked Shrimp Scampi with lemony garlic butter and a crispy panko topping can be served alone, or pair with bread, pasta, or rice.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp, tail on (21-25 count, or larger)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 stick butter
  • 5 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 2 tablespoons white wine (Pinot Grigio)
  • Zest and juice of one lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

For the Topping:

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  2. Peel and devein the shrimp, if needed.
  3. Add the shrimp to a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss to coat. Refrigerate while preparing the butter mixture.
  4. Melt the stick of butter in a pourable bowl. Stir in the garlic, white wine, lemon juice, lemon zest, crushed red pepper, and parsley.
  5. Pour about 1/3 of the butter mixture into the bottom of an oven-safe casserole dish.
  6. Add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer.
  7. Pour the remaining butter mixture over the shrimp.
  8. For the topping, melt the tablespoon of butter and mix with the Panko and parsley. Sprinkle evenly over the shrimp.
  9. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and fully cooked through.
  10. Broil for 1–2 minutes if you want the topping extra golden.
  11. Garnish with additional parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
  12. ENJOY!

Equipment

Notes

  • Use large shrimp (21–25 count) so they don’t overcook quickly. Jumbo shrimp can also be used.
  • If using unsalted butter, use one full tablespoon of salt to season the shrimp.
  • Broiling at the end gives the panko topping a beautiful golden finish.
  • If preparing in advance, assemble everything except the panko topping, then refrigerate and add the topping just before baking.
