Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions
- Preheat the broiler in your oven.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the white wine, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, melted butter, and chopped parsley to make the topping.
- Transfer the shrimp and tomato mixture to a broiler-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top.
- Place the baking dish under the broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes until the topping is golden and crispy.
- Remove from the broiler and garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
- Serve the Shrimp Scampi and Tomato Broil hot with pasta or crusty bread.
