How To Store Ina Garten Baked Shrimp Scampi
You can store the mixture (panko and butter mixture) and the seasoned shrimps separately before baking. Simply place them in the fridge and they can last for 2 to 3 days.
After baking, I don't recommend you to store for more than one day in the fridge. Just place them in a glass container and reheat them the next day.
How To Reheat: You can reheat Baked Shrimp Scampi in the oven at 350°F for about 15 min. Or in the microwave for 3 min.

Ingredients You Need
- Shrimp: You can buy fresh peeled shrimp instead of doing it yourself. Also, if you have some frozen shrimp, it's ok to use make sure to thaw before.
- Olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best.
- Vinegar: The original recipe is made with wine, but I replace it with vinegar. Feel free to use wine with the same amount.
- Salt & Pepper: Kosher salt and some black pepper are enough to season the shrimp, but some people may use paprika or chili powder to give spicy flavor.
- Butter: Try to use unsalted butter. it's may look like so much fat in the recipe when you mix oil and butter. But what can I say, not everything is healthy, we don't eat Baked Shrimp Scampi daily? So it's ok for some fats one time a month.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic, don't use garlic powder you will not get the same result.
- Herbs: Fresh parsley, rosemary leaves, and you can also add some basil or Italian dry herbs for more flavor.
- Lemon: Add some lemon juice when you season the shrimp this will give the pungent taste.
- Panko: Japanese dried bread flakes are the main ingredients after shrimps for this recipe.
