Oven Baked Shrimp Scampi Recipe ~ Noreen's Kitchen

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Melt 1 stick of butter in a pan in the oven.

Add 2 tablespoons of minced garlic to the melted butter and mix well.

Add 2 lb of peeled and deveined North Carolina white shrimp to the pan.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid overcooking the shrimp.

Stir the shrimp after 5 minutes to check for doneness; they should be opaque and curled.

Season the shrimp with Old Bay seasoning, sea salt, Mrs. Dash seasoning, and paprika, mixing well to combine.

Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the shrimp, ensuring to remove any seeds.

If more lemon juice is needed, roll another lemon on the cutting board, microwave it for 15 seconds, then squeeze it for additional juice.

Toss cooked angel hair pasta with olive oil and prepare a vegetable medley to serve alongside the shrimp scampi.

Plate the shrimp scampi over the pasta and serve with the vegetable medley.
