Ingredients

2 pounds (12 to 15 per pound) shrimp in the shell
3 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons dry white wine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 teaspoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
1/4 cup minced shallots
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 extra-large egg yolk
2/3 cup panko (Japanese dried bread flakes)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Peel, devein, and butterfly the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Place the shrimp in a mixing bowl and toss gently with the olive oil, wine, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Allow to sit at room temperature while you make the butter and garlic mixture.

In a small bowl, mash the softened butter with the garlic, shallots, parsley, rosemary, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg yolk, panko, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper until combined.

Starting from the outer edge of a 14-inch oval gratin dish, arrange the shrimp in a single layer cut side down with the tails curling up and towards the center of the dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the shrimp. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until hot and bubbly. If you like the top browned, place under a broiler for 1 minute. Serve with lemon wedges.

WOW-this will be on my list of fav recipes
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This scampi was fabulous! I also left out the rosemary, cause I had none, and used yellow onions. Really fantastic flavors.... Next time I'll add other seafood in addition to the shrimp. Thank you Ina!Read more

The Best Scampi EVER!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Words cannot express how fabulous this Scampi recipe is! I was smiling with every bite b/c I have yet to have scampi this... good in over 20 years. I used yellow onions instead of shallots b/c I forgot them at the market and I omitted the rosemary b/c I simply am not a fan of that herb. But nonetheless, the dish was incredible.Read more

The Best Shrimp Scampi
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for dinner tonight...delicious! I used a riesling wine, nice broth with the olive oil. Next time I would cut... back on the salt in the breading mix. I served it with rice/ peas & carrots. I will make this again. I was thinking this would be good with scallops or even a topping over clams on the half shell...like a clams casino. Read more

BEST Shrimp Scampi!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is amazing. First time I had it my sister made it, and I feel in love and made it several times since. I did... not change the recipe at all, except I serve with De Cecco Spaghetti noodles with butter, lemon, and capers - and a caesar salad. Delicious! Making it again tonight!!! Read more
