"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:
*Leave shell on tail section, if desired.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Melt butter in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan in oven. To the melted butter, add the salt, crushed garlic, and 1 tablespoon of the chopped parsley. Stir well. Arrange shrimp in baking pan in a single layer. Bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes.

Turn shrimp; sprinkle with lemon zest, lemon juice, and the rest of the parsley. Bake scampi for 8 to 10 minutes, or until just done.

Arrange scampi on hot serving platter; pour garlic butter from pan over the shrimp and garnish with several lemon wedges.
Can be served over pasta and accompanied by a salad.

Shrimp scampi serves 4 to 6. (that could be debatable!)
