Shrimp Scampi in Parchment is a company worthy meal that’s quick and easy enough to serve to your family any night of the week.
Baking seafood in parchment paper is an incredibly easy and fool-proof method of cooking. After you take a few minutes to assemble these packets of seafood and aromatics, along with a small amount of liquid and a little butter, the oven gently steams the ingredients to perfection and a delicious sauce develops.
For this post I decided to use shrimp and create a scampi style dish that’s perfect served over pasta. This is a very flexible cooking method, though. You could also use fish fillets and add a vegetable, such as green beans or asparagus, use your imagination. The key is to not over-fill the packets and to make sure you add a few tablespoons of liquid, some aromatics (like garlic, lemon zest, onions, etc) and a little bit of a fat such as butter or olive oil. Then the oven does all of the work and creates a perfect dish!
This method of cooking is also great for entertaining because you can prepare the packets ahead of time, refrigerate and then pop in the oven once your guests arrive. Clean up is easy too!!
