Baked Shrimp Scampi
This is the easiest yet fanciest dish of all – tender shrimp baked with buttery breadcrumbs, garlic and lemon juice. Just 10 min prep!
This is epic. It really is.
Because everyone’s favorite shrimp scampi is transformed into an easy peasy baked version, crusted with buttery breadcrumbs.
Plus, no one will believe that this is completely baked in all of that crunchy, crispy goodness. And this comes together in just 20 min from start to finish.
With that tender shrimp just swimming in that garlicky, buttery sauce, you can’t go wrong. You just can’t.

This was soooo good!! Served with angel hair pasta. A real keeper!!
Just made this for dinner! Served it over brow rice. It was spectacular! Only thing I did different was put it closer to the top of the oven to brown it for the last 3 minutes. Every recipe I have tried of yours has been a winner so far! Thank you!
I made this tonight and it was damn delicious. My husband *loved* it and said it’s one of his favorites.
I’m allergic to dairy, so had to use a butter substitute (I know! I miss butter). I used Melt brand and it tasted great. I also used more red pepper flakes and broiled it for the last minute.
I served it over fettuccine and roasted veggies on the side.
Thanks for the great recipe! I’m looking forward to trying more.
Thanks for another great recipe!! Just made it tonight. I had a question…was it supposed to be more saucy? I don’t know if maybe I added too much bread crumbs to the melted butter so it was more of a paste? And then in order to get it brown or crunchy I had to put it on Broil for a few extra minutes. The flavors were great…I guess I was expecting more sauce to pour over rice? Will have to try again but family really enjoyed it!! Thanks! I love all your recipes and photos!!
The sauce is mostly soaked up by the bread crumbs, but you can always add more butter, to taste. After all, you can never have too much butter, right?
This was a well liked part of our dinner tonight, and so simple to make. Lemon orzo with asparagus was a great accompaniment. Thanks for a great recipe!
I’m really into this type of fast and lazy meals that you can prepare with fewer ingredients. I’m not a fan of shrimps, though. I’ll try to replace it with chicken and I hope it’ll turn out as good as the shrimp version. Do you think that the chicken will suit well to the recipe?
Yes, absolutely, but cooking time may need to be adjusted to ensure that the chicken is completely cooked through.
I’m definitely trying this! Right now I’m heating up my leftover Shrimp Scampi Dip! Your recipes don’t disappoint!
Amazing!It looks so tasty & absolutely delicious.Can’t wait from tasting it!
Thanks for share such a attractive recipe.
Cool!
I made this last night and my husband and teenaged boys loved it! So easy and so good. I doubled the bread crumb topping for 2 lbs. of shrimp and served with lemon risotto and asparagus. Yum!!
Looks so great! I would love such dinner as I really like shrimp.
This sounds great, but it makes a lot of servings. How does it reheat? Could I cut the recipe in half and bake it in a 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 or casserole dish? It should works as long as the shrimp is a single layer, right?
Sarah, this is really best when served immediately as the crispness does lose out over time.
Ahh I love scampi! Takes me back to my childhood x

This scampi looks incredible!! I think it would be a great appetizer for parties too!
This is do easy. It would be great for a luncheon with a salad but what would you accompany the shrimp with for a dinner?
Cheryl, we served it with this kale salad and garlic parmesan roasted potatoes.
Steam Aparagus and Scampi over Linguine!
What kind of white wine do you suggest using for this Baked Shrimp Scampi? I am not a wine connoisseur but do like it in food(s).
Joyce, here is a great resource discussing the 5 best white wines for cooking. Hope that helps! 🙂
When baking the shrimp, does there need to be a flip halfway through the time?
Nope – no flipping needed here 🙂
Oh my gosh! This Baked Shrimp Scampi looks so delicious! I need to make this soon!
