HA – this made me laugh, because I also despise the word “moist.” ugh. The shrimp XXXXXX look fantastic, especially with great bread to soak up all that sauce? YUM!

Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. I happen to love “scampi” but have never tried to make it myself.

Megan, I know what you mean! I’m always scared of overcooking them because overcooked shrimp aren’t pretty–they’re super rubbery. The general rule is that when all of the opaqueness is gone, they’re done. If there is a little opaqueness where you devein them, then they need more time. When sauteing shrimp I usually leave them on each side for two minutes. When I bake or roast them, like this recipe, after about 10 minutes I keep checking them until all of the opaqueness is gone. Hope that helps!

I’m always scared to cook shrimp because I don’t know how to tell if it’s done! I have a fear of undercooking things… any tips on shrimp?

Well it’s settled. I will be having Shrimp in the near future. If nothing else, I am glad that I found a simple way to cook shrimp.
It’s sometimes overwhelming to go to the store and know you want to make something, but just looking at everything raw can be quite terrifying.
So for a first time cooking shrimp, it’s nice to have a simple delicious choice to choose from! So here’s to me not screwing it up.

Well, that sauce would make anyone love the dish, even if it’s called scampi, hehe. I don’t know what word I am repulsed by… I have never thought about it… until now! :-p
