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.

My family loved this recipe. i did add more shrimp than called for, because my three yr old loves them.

Agreed that it needed more "sauce." The 2nd time I made it I added a bit more olive oil and butter. Also used cooked, small Maine shrimp and it was so yummy! It's on its way to becoming a favorite around my house!

My 12 year old son loves this delicious dish. He likes the honey grilled shrimp better though.

Made for New Years Eve for the family and was a huge hit. Broiling it was what gave it that special touch. Will definitely make again!!

I omitted the bread crumbs and it was still delicious! The lemon juice really brightens the flavor of the dish.

Very simple! This was my first time making shrimp and it turned out perfect! My family raved over it! I served it as a side with a London Broil and not with pasta. Delicious!

This recipe is delicious! My husband and two year old twins ate it up, plus seconds! After reading the comments I increased the amount of sauce by adding about 3/4 cup white cooking wine and only put about 1/4 cup of lemon juice. I also upped the oregano and pepper. To thicken it I added a tablespoon or two of sour cream. I cooked the shrimp mixture (with frozen shrimp) and pasta on the stove and then put everything in a corningware baking dish to broil it with the bread crumbs and cheese on top. I personally thought it needed more lemon juice and added it at the table, but my kids and husband thought it was perfect without any add-ons. It was soooo easy and I will make it again. This will be a weekly staple meal in our house! And did I mention that it's pretty and good enought to serve to company!
