Oven Shrimp Scampi


I made this tonight and it was awesome!  I doubled the recipe and made 2lbs of shrimp, I recommend NOT doubling the Italian dressing mix. I also served this over veggie pasta for a healthy alternative to regular pasta. Tastes the same to me

Succulent shrimp roasted in fresh slices of lemon drizzled with butter and delectably seasoned with garlic and herbs, makes an amazing appetizer, or serve it over a bed of piping hot fresh angel hair pasta for a quick scampi!

You'll Need:
1 lb Raw Shrimp
1 Lemon
1 pkg Italian Dressing Mix (like Good Seasons)
1 stick butter
1 heaping tsp minced garlic

Preheat the oven to 375F

Melt the butter, mix in garlic and pour it into a 9x13 baking dish. Slice the lemon thinly and arrange in a single layer in the butter. Spread the fresh raw shrimp over the lemon slices in a single layer. 
Sprinkle the packet of italian seasoning over the shrimp. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until shrimp are cooked throughout. Shrimp are translucent when raw and turn a bright pink/white when cooked through.
