Shrimp Scampi Flatbread
I love a garlicky, lemony, buttery shrimp scampi! It's so tasty! And when it's paired with some melty mozzarella and fresh herbs on a flatbread - I'm totally in! This Shrimp Scampi Flatbread was the perfect afternoon snack for me and my family! This would be an amazing appetizer and main dish as well! Since my recipe calls for two, you'll even have one for later if you don't eat it all in one sitting! This gave total modern day Italian American vibes!
Ingredients
- 2 - 7 oz Flatbreads
- 8 oz Shrimp raw, peeled and deveined, tails removed
- 4 Garlic Cloves minced
- Zest from one lemon, juice from half of it
- 1 ¼ cups Shredded Mozzarella
- ½ cup Parmesan freshly shredded
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Parsley minced
- 1 ½ tbsp Olive Oil
- ½ tsp Salt divided
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- ¼ tsp Crushed Red Pepper
For serving:
- Parsley
- Parmesan
- Lemon Wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉. Next, add shrimp to a paper towel lined plate and pat them dry.
- In a large skillet on medium heat, melt butter. Sauté the shrimp for 1 minute, then carefully flip each shrimp individually to get a nice color and crust on them.
- Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, add the garlic to the pan and cook another minute. We don't want to cook them all the way, since they'll cook more in the oven! Move shrimp to a plate covered with foil and set aside until ready to use.
- Add the lemon juice, zest, crushed red pepper, the rest of the salt, and parsley to that same skillet and add it back to the burner on low heat.
- Toss the shrimp in the skillet with the sauce for 1 minute, then transfer everything back to the plate and cover with foil. Make sure to get every last bit of that delicious garlic lemon sauce out of the skillet and onto your shrimp. You can use a rubber spatula for this if you want!
- Next, get out the two flatbreads and use a silicone brush to generously paint them with olive oil.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella between the two flatbreads, followed by the shrimp and all of that garlicky lemony sauce. Drizzle and drip it all on there, every last bit of it adds massive flavor!
- Divide the parmesan between them and bake directly on the oven rack for 7-8 minutes. Flatbread is done when edges are crispy and golden, shrimp is pink, and the cheese has melted!
- Wait a few minutes before cutting each flatbread into 6 triangles. Garnish with additional parsley, parmesan, and lemon wedges! Enjoy!
