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.

Excellent and Easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this dish for my husband and mother-in-law and it was a huge hit! It was so easy too. I didn't have shallots, so... I left that out and cut the butter in half. I served it with rice pilaf and asparagus that I roasted in the oven along side the shrimp. It came out perfect! Thanks for a great recipe!!Read more

Game clincher

Batter up! This recipe is a grandslam. With one taste your guests will leave their bases clean. A hard crusty bread makes... quick work of the scampi sauce. Costco even has frozen raw, large shrimp already deveined with only the tail on. It doesn't get any easier than this!Read more

Kudos to the chef!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This may be one of the best shrimp scampi recipes I've ever eaten. Made it the night before and it was perfect the next day... (although it took a bit longer to cook than I thought it would even though I took it out of the fridge almost an hour ahead of time). I live at the beach, so instead of salt & pepper, I used Old Bay seasoning. Not a big fan of lemon, so I omitted the lemon zest and used only a smidge of lemon juice. I also used a bit less butter... Served it with parmesean risotto and brandied carrots on the side... MAGNIFICENT!Read more

This is by far my favorite from Ina. Being almost 5 1/2 months pregnant, this is my biggest crave. The flavor is fantastic... in this dish. The preparation time is short and the cook time fast. I love that it can be made in advance, which will be perfect for dinner parties. I love butter with my shrimp and this has just enough but not too much where it is heavy. This dish has scored big points in this house! It will get me through the blustery winter in Minnesota and the next 3 1/2 months of pregnancy! :)Read more

Fantastic flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this an it turned out absolutely delicious! It is a bit heavy on the butter but sooo well worth it for a guilty... pleasure. The panko was key to this recipe; don't sub!Read more

Flavorful & Easy Scampi - Family Pleaser
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was so excited to try this recipe after watching the episode on TV. It was a delightful blend of traditional scampi... flavors, with a crusty topping to vary from the ordinary. I served this on top of rice, where I usually serve Scampi on pasta. The sauce from the dish was lovely on the rice. I didn't have fresh parsley, so substituted thyme instead. Just great. Get your workout in before eating this though - butter-o-rama! Love you Ina!!!Read more
