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 says this is a keeper! Hubby would have liked a bit more sauce over the pasta, but otherwise it was perfect and sooo easy.

This meal was delicious! I used white wine instead of lemon juice, after reading the reviews. It was soooo good. Yummy! and easy!

This was very delicious. Broiling it in the oven was a great idea.

Delicious! However, I also used less lemon juice and added a bit more olive oil. Next time I will try it with the white wine.

Turned out great! Use extra shrimp a little more butter, little less lemon and added bread crumbs to sauce before I added the shrimp. I did not broil.
