This baked shrimp scampi features tender shrimp covered in a buttery, garlicky crust, perfect for a comforting dinner or small gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp dry white wine
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 12 Tbsp butter, room temperature
  • 4 tsp garlic, minced
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 3 Tbsp parsley, minced
  • 1 tsp rosemary, minced
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 extra-large egg yolk
  • 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and butter a shallow baking dish.
  2. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the dish, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil and dry white wine.
  3. In a bowl, beat the room temperature butter until soft. Add minced garlic, shallots, parsley, rosemary, crushed red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, and the egg yolk. Mix until combined.
  4. Stir in the panko until the mixture holds together but remains spreadable.
  5. Spoon the butter-panko topping evenly over each shrimp.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the shrimp are opaque and firm.
  7. Switch to broil and brown the topping for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely.
  8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and crusty bread.

Notes

Panko provides the best crunch; you can substitute regular breadcrumbs if necessary. For a lighter version, reduce the butter and increase lemon juice.
