Shrimp Scampi

This dish can be made in 15 minutes













3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 lb uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 tsp pepper
salt to taste
1/2 pkg. cooked angel hair pasta


In a 12-in. ovenproof skillet, saute garlic in butter and oil until tender. Stir in the shrimp, lemon juice, pepper and oregano; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and parsley. Broil 6 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Serve over pasta. (I do think this is still good without breadcrumbs and using dry parsley.
*Note- I left out the oregano, and used dried parsley. I had cooked shrimp that I added at the end. I tossed the pasta with the sauce and then broiled it for a few minutes. I thought the bread crumbs were an odd ingredient, but they instantly thickened the sauce and you didn't even taste them. This is a keeper for our family!
