Ingredients

1 1/2 lb shrimp that has been shelled and deveined
1 stick butter
1 lemon, sliced thin
1 pkg dry italian seasoning packet

Steps:

1. Prehead oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with sides with foil.
2. Melt butter in oven on lined cookie sheet. Lay lemon slices on melted butter. Lay shrimp on top of butter and lemons. Sprinkle the dry Italian dressing mix on top of shrimp. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, until light golden brown.
3. This is great alone or served on pasta or rice using melted butter/lemon juice drizzled on top.
4. It is hard for me to say how many shrimp to use since shrimp come in different weights and sizes. Just use your own judgment. I usually us a medium shrimp and I can lay around 36 on a cookie sheet.

CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI

Classic Shrimp Scampi image

Scampi are tiny, lobster-like crustaceans with pale pink shells (also called langoustines). Italian cooks in the United States swapped shrimp for scampi, but kept both names. Thus the dish was born, along with inevitable variations. This classic recipe makes a simple garlic, white wine and butter sauce that goes well with a pile of pasta or with a hunk of crusty bread. However you make the dish, once the shrimp are added to the pan, the trick is to cook them just long enough that they turn pink all over, but not until their bodies curl into rounds with the texture of tires.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh shrimp, vegetables, and herbs will make a big difference in the final dish.
Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
Use a Large Skillet: A large skillet will help you cook the shrimp and vegetables evenly. If you don't have a large skillet, you can cook the shrimp and vegetables in batches.
Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to season the dish to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder if you think it needs it.

Conclusion:

This 1-2-3 Italian shrimp dinner is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful tomato sauce with garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Serve it over pasta, rice, or zucchini noodles for a complete meal.
