Italian Shrimp and Vegetables
Shrimp scampi is a classic Italian-American dish that combines shrimp and garlic in a buttery sauce that's thick enough to coat pasta. If you thought you liked shrimp scampi before, watch how it gets even better when you serve it over Italian veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
It's easy to make a delicious seafood meal like this one at home, any night of the week, when you use fresh-caught, perfectly seasoned Gorton’s Seafood. For this recipe, I love to use Gorton's Seafood Simply Bake Shrimp Scampi.
It's made with simple, chef-inspired ingredients that make it both gourmet and easy to prepare. While the shrimp scampi cooks, the zucchini and mushrooms get a nice sear in a grill pan for color and flavor. All you have to do with the tomatoes is slice them into halves. Before you know it, you'll be building a beautiful plate of shrimp and vegetables and ringing the dinner bell.
I like to garnish my Italian shrimp and vegetables with fresh basil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. It's a quick and simple way to elevate the presentation and enhance all the elements of the bowl. Did you know that basil is one of the easiest herbs to grow on a porch? As long as you have some decent sunlight and you remember to water it when it gets dry, you're golden. Fresh basil for everything!

This looks totally amazing! Not only is the shrimp looking tasty, I love all the veggies that have been added.
It looks delicious and easy to make. I will like to make it, but too bad my son has allergic to shrimp.
I love making seafood for dinner. Healthy and yummy! Best of all this sounds quick and easy, just what need throughout the week!
This meal looks fresh healthy and tasty, personally shrimp isn't something I eat, but I would make the recipe without. In replacement of the shrimp I'd add fried firm tofu.
I haven't considered looking at Gordon's before when purchasing my seafood, but your recipe is giving me second thoughts. It looks delicious and would satisfy my family. Thanks for posting this yummy recipe!
My family is definitely a fan of shrimp. I have not tried these yet, but need to look for them on my next grocery store trip!
This recipe looks amazing and SIMPLE! I love shrimp but never cook it quite right. Maybe these would turn out better. I will have to look for these in our town store.
Yum! That looks so healthy and light. It's perfect for those nights when you don't want a heavy dinner.
This looks like it would be so very delicious! I have never had an Italian style shrimp before.
this looks like a filling meal not to mention tasty as well. Love dishes like this two in one deal
