04 - 3 tbsp unsalted butter

12 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella

# Instructions:

01 - Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.

02 - In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add olive oil. Sauté garlic and red pepper flakes for 28 seconds. Add shrimp and cook for about 2–3 minutes per side until pink. Pour in white wine and lemon juice, allowing it to simmer for 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley, then remove from heat.

03 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss cooked pasta with the shrimp scampi sauce and transfer to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs evenly on top. Bake uncovered for 16–21 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.

04 - Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - For best results, use fresh shrimp rather than frozen for more flavor and better texture.
