What Makes This Baked Shrimp Scampi Special?

This dish is spectacular.

Each bite has the perfect balance of tender shrimp, buttery breadcrumbs, and fresh lemon flavor.

It really is a showstopper and works well as an appetizer or main course.

They become extra crispy when baked.

It’s the perfect texture contrast for the shrimp.
