Name: Baked Shrimp Scampi

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons parsley, chopped and divided
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons white wine
• juice and zest of 1 lemon, plus more juice for serving
• 1 shallot, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
• kosher salt, to taste
• ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 3/4 pound angel hair pasta, cooked, for serving
• crusty bread, to taste, sliced and toasted

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large baking dish, combine the shrimp, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the butter, the white wine, the lemon juice, the lemon zest, the shallot, the garlic, the red pepper flakes, the salt, and the pepper.
• In a medium bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the olive oil, the remaining parsley, the salt, and the pepper.
• Sprinkle the panko mixture over the shrimp mixture.
• Bake until the shrimp reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy, about 12-15 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp.
• Serve the shrimp over the pasta with a squeeze of the lemon juice and a slice of the bread.

Comments: 8/29/2023 - I substituted 3 teaspoons of dried basil for the parsley, 2 tablespoons of dry sherry for the wine, and 2 teaspoons of garlic powder for the minced. I used rotini pasta, but omitted the red pepper flakes and the lemon zest. I baked it for 15 minutes and the extra large shrimp might have been a little over done.
8/29/2023 - I used 30 shrimp from a bag of frozen jumbo shrimp. I skipped the red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and parsley, but all the other ingredients were as specified. I served it with 2 cups of (dry) fusilli cooked and naan bread. I baked the mixture for 15 minutes.
