Of course, he wanted to know what the tails tasted like. He discovered that he would only try once.
The boys had their feast of baked scampi today and it looks like we are deprived of eating our scampi in a more intimate setting.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds raw shrimp
- 1 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons prepared Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 large cloves chopped garlic
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- First, remove all shells and tails. It's easiest to do this process while they are semi-frozen.
- Melt butter in a saucepan or microwave and combine mustard, lemon juice, and garlic.
- Remove from heat once butter is melted.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange shrimp in a shallow baking dish.
- Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp and sprinkle fresh parsley.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the shrimp are pink.
What I really like about this dish, is that you can prepare it ahead of time and there is no last minute cooking. While the scampi baked, I cooked some quinoa and prepared a salad.
It's quick, simple and yet delicious.

Marg, I have never had the privilege to watch someone prepare shrimp and so I am reluctant myself to make shrimp dishes,
