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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley, cooking for an additional minute to combine the flavors. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 8

Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Layer the cooked shrimp evenly over each half of the baguette.

Step 9

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the shrimp-covered bread halves.

Step 10

Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the Shrimp Scampi Garlic Bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into individual portions and serve warm.
