Baked scampi with cherry tomatoes
INGREDIENTS
- 800 g fresh scampi (about 12-16 scampi)
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 1 lemon
- extra virgin olive oil, to taste
- 200 g cherry tomatoes
- salt and pepper, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Rinse the scampi thoroughly under running water.
- Make a shallow cut along the back to help them cook evenly.
- Place the scampi on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, flesh side up. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a baking dish with lemon thyme, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Bake the cherry tomatoes in a fan-assisted oven at 200°C (400°F) for 30 minutes.
- When 5-3 minutes remain (depending on the size of the scampi), place the tray with the scampi in the oven.
- Once done, plate the scampi and tomatoes as desired and finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest.
Enjoy your meal!
