fantastic!
Great easy weeknight dinner. Fancy but quick! I threw some grape tomatoes in as well,
Pinned it today & made it tonight. So easy & very delicious! Will be making it again
I made this for dinner tonight and my husband and I enjoyed it very much. The recipe is simple to follow and doesn’t involve a lot of complicated ingredients. I didn’t use fresh parsley, but I did sprinkle some dried parsley in with the panko. I would also add some hot sauce or Old Bay seasoning next time to try new flavors. This would be delicious served with a slice of crusty bread.
Followed recipe. Delicious!
I would love to serve this shrimp with the garlic parmesan potatoes as you suggest – but the oven temperatures are different. Suggestion? Potatoes in at 425 degrees instead of 400 but for less time? Would love to serve together – looks delicious.
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment when making substitutions and modifications.
I have made this dish many times, and everyone who tries it, loves it. It’s great recipe, and is perfect with a simple salad and a glass of the leftover wine.
Can you use frozen shrimp?
I recommend thawing prior to using.
This was yummy and easy! Thank you!
Great!
Hi
Thank u for all the great recipes
Here what can I substitute for white wine
Thank you
Chicken stock can be used for white wine as a non-alcoholic substitute.
I made this tonight and, I’ve got to say, it was excellent. I added two spices, paprika and Za’athr, just a light sprinkling on top. I read a novel and the main character used Za’athr spice to make lambchops. I found it online and made the chops. I’ve always used Curry and served them with mint jelly, but didn’t need either. If you haven’t tried Za’athr, please do so.
Note: I will be making this scampi again for company in a couple of days.
Can you also put scallops in it.. 🙂
Yes, of course.
Can you make this before hand without baking it and put it in fridge until ready to put in oven hrs later?
Yes, absolutely, but I would hold off on the Panko mixture or else it may become soggy.
should I hold off on the lemon and wine mixture as well since lemon can start to cook the shrimp?
This is a great, easy recipe. I make it gluten free by using about a cup of crushed corn tortilla chips instead of the panko.
I added 1 Tb of wine , 1 Tb butter and 1 Tb lemon zest. I add lemon zest to almost everything that requires lemon juice.
I would like to try this recipe. Is previously frozen shrimp acceptable?
I recommend using thawed shrimp.
A+
First recipe of yours that I tried. Winner! Sent me searching for more.
I just made this tonight, and it was delicious! I halved the recipe exactly, cut down the temp to 400, the time baking to 8 min, and then broiled it after that until browned. I served it with julienned zucchini that I sautéed in a little butter, and garlic bread. Awesome! Thank you!!
Made this for Christmas dinner, and it was amazing. Thank you!
Thanks for another great recipe. This was a delicious treat for Christmas Eve dinner with a simple green salad.
