Tips & Tricks (5)

Shrimp Size Matters 🦐
Choose shrimp of uniform size to ensure even cooking, preferably 21-25 count for the perfect bite and texture in this scampi.
Butter Browning Technique 🧈
Brown the butter slightly before adding garlic to develop a deeper, nuttier flavor profile that elevates the entire dish.
Moisture Prevention Hack 💧
Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels before cooking to prevent excess moisture and achieve a perfect golden sear.
Parsley Power 🌿
Chop parsley just before adding to maximize its fresh, bright flavor and vibrant green color in the final presentation.
Cheese Timing Trick 🧀
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese in the last 2-3 minutes of baking to prevent burning and create a perfectly golden, crispy topping.
