Shrimp Scampi au Gratin

Hey friends!

If you like shrimp, this is the dish for you!  I'm not sure where I found this recipe, but it's been in our monthly rotation for awhile now.  It's so easy to make, and tastes delicious!  Even if you're not a huge seafood fan, you'll like this dish.  The bread crumb mixture gives the shrimp this buttery, decadent taste that's to die for!  It literally takes about 20 minutes to throw this whole meal together, so it's perfect for a busy weeknight meal.  My husband loves this and raves over it every time I make it!  Enjoy!

Combine melted butter, bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, Parmesan, oregano and pepper.

Place cleaned and deveined shrimp in baking dish and sprinkle with lemon juice.

Spoon bread crumb mixture over shrimp.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes.  Place under broiler until crumb topping is golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Ingredients:

1 pound medium-sized shrimp
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon crushed oregano
black pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Clean and devein shrimp (or buy it already cleaned and deveined, like me).  Place in 9x13 inch baking dish and sprinkle with lemon juice.  Combine butter, crumbs, garlic, parsley, Parmesan, oregano, and black pepper.  Spoon the mixture over the shrimp.  Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.  Place under broiler until crumb topping is golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Tastes great served with whole wheat linguine or brown rice!
