Notes

  • Add extra heat- Add extra red pepper flakes to the breadcrumbs to make this Baked Shrimp Scampi a little spicier.
  • Lay the shrimp in a single layer- You want to make sure that the shrimp fully cook, so lay them out in one layer. Piling them on each other will make heat circulation difficult and slow down cooking.
  • Don't let the top burn- While broiling the baked shrimp scampi, keep a close eye on it and be careful not to burn the top.
