  I love Ina's recipes. This one is at the TOP of the list. It is very rich so we save this dish for special times. We make the baked scampi with a gentle lemon rice. My friends and family could not stop eating it. Fantastic presentation. Great for company because you can make everything ahead and then just bake. Next attempt we added more red pepper. Just the best. We love Ina.

  Awesome.. one change

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Again Ina... With the reckless amount of butter!!! ahh!! Totally not needed!! I used a half stick and prob. could have done much less. The vegetables/ garlic add a great deal of moisture. I did remove the tails prior to cooking because my husband and I like to just spoon this onto pates and dig in. We put this over a green romaine salad and it was fab!! Im sure it would go better with garlic bread & pasta but we are always trying to stay as healthy as possible!!

  Excellent! Will make again, soon.

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made this last night and the only thing I did different was I cut the recipe in half to serve 2 people. I didn't change any of the ingredients at all and we did not find it to be too salty, but that's a personal taste thing. There was not a single drop of this left, and my husband absolutely raved about how good it was. When I make it next time I will think about pre-toasting the panko before putting it on the dish. I served this with really great garlic bread for dipping in the sauce and fresh fruit. This one is a keeper for sure.

  Excellent shrimp dish

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Had this at a relative's house recently. Don't know if she followed the recipe exactly or modified it, but it was simply the best. Can't wait to try it myself.

  Liked it......but.....

  Rated: 3 stars out of 5

  Liked it but wasn't overwhelmed. Too much garlic and I adore garlic. Next time I'd use only one clove. The flavors were generally good except for that minor detail. Will report again, next time I make it...... The Other Contessa

  Yummy Shrimp

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This dish is fantastic...I did cut the butter to 1 stick and used half the salt the recipe called for. I may have had more lemon juice/zest than it called for too, but the extra was fabulous. My guests LOVED it. I baked 10 min. and then turned on the broiler for about 2 min. but left the dish on the middle shelf. Just the right amount of browning. I will definetly make this again. Served with Italian bread for dipping in the sauce...very YUMMY!

  Very Nice

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  Glad I followed the advice that there was too much butter and too salty. I cut the butter just to 1 stick and 1/2 of the salt and it was a really nice dish and I will definitely make it again. The shrimp was swimming in the 1 stick of butter, can't imagine what it would have been like with the full recipe amt. Diana

  Fopaux excused!!!!!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Well I know you are not supposed to try out a new recipe on guests with out a one time run through - but I was on vacation with my family and there was so much packed into a day on the FL keys that I was looking for things I could prepare ahead and cook while everyone took showers after returning from a day at Holiday Isle on the beach. This one was fabulous! A crowd pleaser!

  Everyone loved it! It was funny to hear them try to guess what "the clumpy bread thing" was..

  Ina Does it Again!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I have a confession. When I took it out of the oven I was a little worried. After one bite I felt bad for ever doubting Ina. She has NEVER let me down. This dish was sooooo good. I followed it exactly and I thought it had the perfect amount of everything. I had more butter mix than I needed because I used less shrimp. Before I added the bread crumbs I threw some of the butter into a pan with veggies and it was great. I think you could use this topping on scallops or fish. The only thing I did wrong was not taking the time to mince the garlic enough. So we were biting into some big chunks of it. That's a no no when you aren't sauteeing it. I too thought I didn't like parsley, but Ina uses it in a lot of her recipes. It really does add something to the dish. If you don't like parsley just try cutting back on the amount. Keep em' coming Ina!!!

  Just needs tweaking

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  This is the first recipe I have ever made from Ina Garten, and overall, we liked it, but we just thought it needed to be toned down a little. I personally am not used to cooking with so much butter, so when I was making the topping, I actually had to add a few more panko crumbs to balance out some of the butter. Next time, I will definitely reduce the amount of butter I use. My other complaint would be that the dish was a little too salty for our tastes. I could tell that from the first bite of shrimp I took. I will reduce the amount of salt I use in my marinade in the future. I will say that both of my children loved the dish. My 3 year old loves shrimp, and she had about three helpings tonight. Even my 5 year old, who is very picky, said this was the best shrimp he has ever tasted. My husband kept saying he loved the concept of the dish and couldn't wait to try it with other seafoods, such as fish and lobster tails. Again, we did like this dish and we will be making it again. It was very easy to make. We will just need to tweak the recipe to suit our tastes.

  The best thing I have ever made......

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Ok so I never, ever review recipes but I thought that this one def. deserved it.....I am known at my boyfriend's work as the girlfriend who sends the best lunches so I make lots of things that my boyfriend calls "the best thing he has ever tasted" but this is by far THE BEST!!!!!!!!! I did however do some tweaking due to other reviews and my own tastes and health concerns....here is what I changed....I used whole grain bread crumbs that I toasted in a dry pan before I added them, I also used thyme instead of parsley (only because I don't really care for parsley that much), and I used a olive oil butter blend so that it was more heart healthy...and I cut the butter to half a stick and mixed in a little low-fat mayo for creaminess (about a TBL). I then cooked them for 6 mins on the temp it called for and then for 6 minutes on broil but did not put it on the top rack just left it on the bottom one......it came out perfectly cooked and the topping was crispy and deelish!!!!!!!! This is a must try!!!!!!!!!

  Delicious, but a little salty

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  I turned this recipe into dinner for two by using two smaller gratin pans. I followed the recipe almost exactly, I just cut the butter by half and skipped the shallots since I didn't have any around. I had extra of the topping, so I just saved it for a topping to use later on a baked potato or another dish. I was also looking for a way to add a side dish and still keep it in one pan, so I used al dente orzo as a bed. It was perfect! The only thing I would do differently next time is cut the salt and garlic a bit, since it was quite salty. Still yummy though, my husband and I polished it off!

  Great idea, poor execution

  Rated: 3 stars out of 5

  I love Ina's concepts. This recipe had 1 tsp too much salt and 1/2 cup too much butter. I also would have toasted the bread crumbs before hand, they don't get browned in the short cooking time. I also would have added a bit more wine, marinaded the cleaned shrimp in the refrigerator for two hours and not poured the extra marinade over the shrimp once placed in the cooking vessel. Also, putting the bread, butter, and herb topping in a food processor fitted with a steel blade provides for a more even distribution. All in all, the concept is great. Tweak it to the above specifications and it is fabulous!

  Delicious

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I have never taken the time to review a recipe before, but this was just delicious. I would highly recommend it to anyone - it's so much easier than turning all those shrimp in a pan, and the topping was great. I'm always pleased with Ina's recipes - if you follow them, it won't turn out poorly. In fact, when, my daughter offered to cook me dinner for Mother's Day, this was my choice of meals!!
