Recipe Introduction


Shrimp scampi is a favorite dish for special occasions aboard the USS John F. Kennedy. The aircraft carrier's recipe combines shrimp with garlic, loads of butter and fresh diced tomatoes. The dish is topped with breadcrumbs and baked in the oven.
The mess specialist scaled down the ship's recipe, which feeds 5,000, to this version, which serves four. The downsized version called for more than a pound of butter, but the amount has been reduced to 4 tablespoons here. Serve over white rice with a green salad on the side



List of Ingredients




4 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tomatoes, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup breadcrumbs


Recipe



Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and parsley and saute 3 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and lemon juice. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Season shrimp with salt and pepper and place in the bottom of a 9-inch, glass baking dish. Pour tomato mixture over the top. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and bake for 15 minutes.
