Here's my shrimp scampi recipe *:

-Extra large shrimp
-About 2-3 cloves of garlic crushed and then minced (or to liking)
-One lemon. Reserve 1/2 for garnish
-About 1/4 - 1/2 cup white wine
-About 1/4 cup olive oil (or less)
-3-4 tablespoons of butter
-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-About 3-4 tablespoons bread crumbs
-About 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
-S & P (to taste)

*The ingredients are approximations, I very rarely measure, I just go by eye.

Arrange shrimp in oven safe casserole
Add all ingredients (except bread crumbs), mix well. Bake at 375 until shrimp starts to turn pink and opaque. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top and bake until golden on top.
