Simple Shrimp Scampi

Simple Shrimp Scampi


  • Author: Carlotta
  • Total Time: 13 minutes
  • Yield: 3-4 1x

Description

Restaurant-fancy without the restaurant-pricey!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 11 1/2 pounds shrimp, thawed and deveined, tails still on
  • 4 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley (or 1 1/2 tsp dried parsley)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Freshly grated parmesan and fresh parsley for topping, if desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat broiler. Place shrimp in a single layer on bottom of rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Melt butter in a small saucepan, grate in the garlic, and stir in seasonings and lemon juice. Pour over the shrimp.
  3. Broil for 3 minutes, stir the shrimp, flipping them over and coating with butter again, then broil another 2-5 minutes, (depending on how hot your broiler is) until shrimp is pink and opaque. Watch it closely, because these cook super fast, and you don’t want scorched, rubbery shrimp.
  4. Top with parmesan and parsley, if desired, and serve with brown rice, or other side dish.
