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.

This recipe was GREAT!! The only change I made was halving the lemon juice and using chicken broth for the other half so it wouldn't be so lemony. I also added fresh basil in addition to the fresh parsley. I did broil it, which I agree added a nice touch!! My family is very picky and they all agree this one is a keeper!

I substituted white cooking wine for lemon juice. I used frozen cooked shrimp. As it thawed the water from the shrimp mixed with the rest of the scampi sauce and made it the perfect consistency. I did not broil it in the oven. I made it entirely on the stove. Delicious!

I agree with the lemon juice. I just made it. I did enjoy it; however, adding some white wine and subtracting some lemon juice would enhance the recipe. I mixed the bread crumbs, cheese, and parsley together before adding to shrimp. The broiling was a nice touch.

This is something I would want to try, except, any good scampi has dry white wine. Without the wine it is flat.Give it a try with the wine. Make sure you cook the wine off at least 10 minutes.

I would substitute white wine for most of that lemon juice. That's way too much for a pound of shrimp.
