The Barefoot Contessa's Baked Shrimp Scampi
Serves 6

Baked Shrimp Scampi Ingredients

2 pounds of shrimp, shells still on
3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of white wine
3 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup minced onion (recipe calls for shallots)
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 extra large egg yolk
2/3 cup panko

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Peel, devein, and butterfly the shrimp, leaving the tail on. If you can, buy your shrimp already prepared this way and you'll cut a good deal of time out of the preparation for this dish. Place the shrimp in a bowl and toss with a marinade of the olive oil, wine, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Set aside.

Toss Shrimp with The Marinade And Set Aside

Make the bread crumb mixture by mixing the softened butter, onion, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley and rosemary, red pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and egg yolk with the panko until combined.

Make The Panko Mixture

Starting with the outside edge of your baking dish, arrange the shrimp, standing side by side, with the cut side down and the tails sticking up. Pour the marinade over the shrimp. Spread the panko mixture over the bodies of the shrimp, distributing the mixture evenly.

Ready for The Oven

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the shrimp is pink and the panko mixture is browned. Let sit for a couple of minutes before serving. You may want to spoon some of the buttery juices from the baking dish over your shrimp when serving.

So now you want to see the finished dish, right? So sorry, but I was so excited about eating this that it was on the plates and devoured before I remembered I planned to share this recipe with all of you. I really am sorry, but trust me, it was yummy!

Hi Donna! Thanks for stopping by my blog last night during SITS Comment Hour. I'm glad you came by.

I know I might be in the minority but I've never enjoyed seafood. But for some reason these past couple of weeks I've been wanting shrimp. Ha, and your post is kind of like a sign I should go get some, right?

Anyways, thanks again for coming by.

Artisan Bread in Your Bread Machine

Finally. Artisan Bread from Your Bread Machine Yes, Really. If you want to make artisan-style bread using your bread machine, the secret is simple: use the dough cycle, then bake the loaf in a preheated Dutch oven. This method gives you a crisp crust and chewy crumb without any hand kneading. If you use your bread machine regularly, you already know what it does well. It mixes, kneads, and handles the first rise beautifully. It is a dependable helper in the kitchen. What it does not do especially well is produce that deep golden, crackly crust we associate with artisan bread. The good news is you do not need to give up the ease of your bread machine to get that result. You simply need to change how the bread is baked. Today I’m showing you how to use your bread machine’s dough cycle and bake the loaf in a Dutch oven for a crusty, bakery-style result.
