Shrimp Scampi from Lori Packer of Omaha, Nebraska looks like you fussed, but it’s a snap to prepare. Lemon and herbs enhance the shrimp, and bread crumbs add a pleasing crunch. Served over pasta, this main dish is pretty enough for company.

We loved this! So easy. Did not use pasta just eat it with roasted veggies and salad. Will make again!

Simple and delicious. We will definitely have this again. Next time I may try replacing the lemon juice with white wine.

I am the only one in the house who eats seafood and that was okay with me with this recipe because I didn't have to share;) Love this!

enjoyed the mix of flavors, though I will use about half the amount of lemon juice next time, only because I don't really care for lemon flavor

children, friends say it tastes as if it was ordered in the restaurant. Easy to prepare and every morsel is eaten. I have also used chicken instead of the shrimp
