# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Transfer shrimp to a plate and set aside.
02 -
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, avoiding browning.
03 -
Pour in dry white wine or chicken broth along with the fresh lemon juice. Scrape the pan to deglaze and allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes, reducing slightly.
04 -
Stir in the melted butter and red pepper flakes, cooking until the butter is fully incorporated and sauce is smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
05 -
Return cooked shrimp to the pan, tossing thoroughly to coat in the sauce. Remove from heat and finish with lemon zest and chopped parsley.
06 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Arrange flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes until lightly crisp.
07 -
Remove flatbreads from the oven and generously brush each with melted butter for enhanced flavor.
08 -
Evenly distribute the shrimp scampi mixture over the toasted flatbreads, ensuring each portion receives both shrimp and sauce.
09 -
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Return flatbreads to the oven for 5 minutes, allowing cheese to melt and flavors to meld.
10 -
Garnish the finished flatbreads with additional chopped parsley. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
