An easy one-pan shrimp scampi pasta bake featuring linguine tossed in a garlic, lemon, and white wine sauce with tender shrimp, baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb linguine or other long pasta, uncooked
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (or additional chicken broth)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 4–6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp), plus zest for garnish
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on or off
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar oven-safe pan.
  2. In the prepared baking dish, whisk together the chicken broth, white wine (or extra broth), melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
  3. Add the uncooked linguine to the dish, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid. Break the pasta in half if needed to fit comfortably. Distribute it evenly across the pan.
  4. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring the pasta about halfway through to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  5. After 40 minutes, remove the foil. The pasta should be al dente (firm to the bite) and most of the liquid absorbed. Stir in the peeled and deveined shrimp and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to combine.
  6. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.
  7. Remove from the oven. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  8. Serve the Baked Lemon Garlic Shrimp Scampi with Linguine immediately, topped with extra grated Parmesan cheese.
