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.

Family loved it. Made a double batch for 5 people and it was gone in one meal.

Very good and VERY simple. I used about half the lemon juice, a little more garlic,so red pepper flakes and about 1/2 cup of white wine. I was worried that adding the bread crumbs was going to soak up all the sauce. I was wrong. Just sprinkling them with the cheese over the top, no mixing. Than broiling for color and texture was

perfect. Put over noddles, but would be great just as a scampi

I have been making this recipe for a few years now...it's a favorite of the whole family. The only thing i do different is adding alot more fresh lemon juice. It really is great try it!

Excellent recipe and so easy. I used asiago cheese because I didn't have parmisian. Also used red pepper flakes instead of pepper. Omitted the bread crumbs. After broiling I added the pasta and stirred to coat the pasta. Delicious!

I use this recipe all the time, so easy to prepare. I also use scallops in place of the shrimp.

Loved it! Family loved it. One child doesn't like shrimp but loved the pasta dished out without shrimp. Usually make pasta with Alfredo sauce but this is a much lower calorie choice.

Was good, and definately quick and easy. Turned out a little too salty for our taste, would probably cut back on the butter some next time. Otherwise, good flavor and the bread crumbs and cheese make it better than the usual shrimp scampi.
