Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a medium skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and half of the minced garlic (3 cloves) to the skillet, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette halves. Place the bread in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly toasted.
Meanwhile, in the same skillet, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the remaining minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the raw shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley, cooking for an additional minute to combine the flavors. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Layer the cooked shrimp evenly over each half of the baguette.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the shrimp-covered bread halves.
Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the Shrimp Scampi Garlic Bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into individual portions and serve warm.
