Description
A bright, garlicky twist on shrimp scampi and crispy flatbread topped with tender shrimp, melted mozzarella, and fresh parsley.
Ingredients
- Flatbreads (2 large or 4 small)
- Shrimp (about 12 oz, peeled and deveined)
- Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
- Butter (2 tablespoons)
- Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
- Lemon juice (1–2 tablespoons, fresh)
- Parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Mozzarella cheese (1 to 1 1/2 cups, shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, peel and devein if needed, and mince the garlic. Place flatbreads on a clean work surface.
- In a skillet, melt the butter and add the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook the shrimp 2–3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
- Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet and evenly top with the cooked shrimp mixture and shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake for about 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
Serve warm with a simple green salad or as an appetizer. Keep an eye on baking time to prevent overcooking the shrimp.
