Oven Baked Scampi
Serve over linguine cooked al dente, or with crusty bread to dip in the
sauce.
Makes 2 to 3 servings
1 pound large (21-30 count) shrimp
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely minced shallot
1-2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence or Italian herb blend
½ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¹⁄8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup dry vermouth
¹⁄3 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
lemon wedges
Peel shrimp, leaving tail on. De-vein and partially butterfly; reserve.
Preheat toaster oven to 425°F.
Combine melted butter, olive oil, shallot, garlic, herbes de Provence, dry
mustard, salt, and pepper. Spread half of this mixture in a 1¼-quart
ovenproof oval dish. Arrange shrimp evenly over the butter/oil mixture.
Pour the vermouth and the remaining butter/oil mixture over the shrimp.
Place in rack position B. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from oven,
stir gently to loosen – shrimp should be beginning to curl and be
somewhat opaque and “shrimp” in color. Sprinkle evenly with
breadcrumbs and half the chopped parsley. Return to the oven for an
additional 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from oven, drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with remaining
chopped parsley. Serve with additional lemon wedges.
