Shrimp Scampi
This shrimp scampi recipe looks elegant enough to serve to company, but it’s easy to prepare. The bright flavors of lemon and herbs enhance the shrimp. Serve it over pasta and wait for the compliments. —Lori Packer, Omaha, Nebraska

Very good dish. Followed recipe except mixed pasta in before sprinkling with cheese, bread crumbs and parsley.
Really good! The lemon was a little overwhelming or it would have gotten 5. Next time I''ll use a lighter hand with it.
I made this for a family gathering. I was pleasantly surprised how easy and delicious it was!
Went camping, needed a good scampi recipe for 2lbs. I looked over many. This is the one. Only added 1/4+ white wine WITH lemon juice, and cooked it in a frying pan instead of the broiler. Was absolutely fantastic! Plenty of great flavors. Very easy to make. The zinger here really is the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Adds additional flavor and soaks up all the good stuff. I will be putting this one in my dinner rotation.
Perfection. Quick, easy, and flavorful. A win in this house!

Quick easy meal, can be served over rice or pasta. Add a salad and dinner is ready. My teen daughter prepared when I came home from hospital.
This recipe was easy and full of flavor. The only thing I did different, was add a little white wine. Delicious!
Added a couple crab cakes to the breadcrumb and cheese topping. Lemon was perfect with that addition and will definitely make again.
This has WAY too much lemon. I haven't tried it with reduced or zero lemon juice but I think it would probably be pretty bland. It needs more garlic and something to give it a little zing. Granted, though, it was a very easy experiment.
