Shrimp scampi is possibly one of the easiest meals to make. The biggest problem with the dish is overcooking the shrimp. I came across a post that suggested baking the shrimp instead of sauteing it in the butter garlic mixture. I was intrigued, so with little preparation and great flavor, 15 minutes later, dinner was on the table.
Shrimp Scampi Bake
1/2 cup butter
1 Tbsp. prepared Dijon style mustard
Juice of half a lemon
Splash of white wine
1 garlic clove chopped
big hand full chopped fresh parsley
2 pounds 51/60 count raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
In a small pan add butter, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, wine and parsley. When the butter melts remove from heat.
Arrange shrimp in a shallow baking dish. Pour butter mixture over the shrimp
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until shrimp are pink and opaque.

Your so right! Raw shrimp will not hurt you and very few people can tell when shrimp have not been cooked enough. But almost everyone can tell when it is over cooked!
