Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Assemble your ingredients for a seamless cooking experience. Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

02

Step
2 mins

Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in an oven-safe baking dish, such as a pie plate or small gratin dish. A pinwheel pattern is visually appealing, but not required.

03

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the Pinot Grigio, melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.

04

Step
1 mins

Pour the garlic-butter mixture evenly over the shrimp, ensuring each shrimp is coated. Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese generously over the top.

05

Step
7 mins

Carefully place the dish under the preheated broiler and broil until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, and the tails curl inward. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes, but keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

06

Step
1 mins

Remove from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

For an even richer flavor, infuse the melted butter with the garlic by gently simmering the minced garlic in the butter for a minute or two before adding the other ingredients.
Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your preference. For a milder flavor, omit them altogether. For more heat, add a generous pinch.
Serve this scampi over angel hair pasta, linguine, or alongside crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce. A simple green salad makes a perfect accompaniment.
Ensure the shrimp are completely thawed and patted dry before cooking to ensure even browning and prevent steaming.
Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If necessary, use two dishes to ensure the shrimp cook evenly.
