Baked shrimp scampi casserole takes away the need to fuss over the stove to enjoy the classic seafood pasta. It turns it into a cheesy, satisfying meal you can just throw in the oven with all the flavors you know and love.
Shrimp scampi is one of my favorite special occasion and summer time meals.
We either have it during the holidays or when we are at the beach.
Either way, we look forward to it.
Part of the reason we don’t enjoy it more is because it’s a bit of a pain to make a big portion.
But this baked shrimp scampi casserole lets you feed a crowd and enjoy the same great tastes you know and love effortlessly.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Pasta– I recommend linguini. Break the pasta in half.
- Chicken broth– Don’t substitute beef or vegetable broth.
- White wine– Something you would drink.
- Butter– Melted
- Garlic– Minced
- Onion– Small white onion, peeled and diced.
- Cheese– Both shredded mozzarella and shredded Parmesan
- Shrimp– Frozen medium shrimp that you’ve thawed. I recommend buying them pre-peeled, deveined, and tail off.
- Garnish– Parsley and more butter. Both optional
How to Make
This baked shrimp scampi with pasta is so easy!
Just spray a 9×13″ casserole dish with non stick spray.
Then add the pasta to the bottom of the dish so it criss crosses.
Set the dish aside.
Then whisk the broth, wine, onion, garlic, and half the parmesan cheese together in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Pour the mixture evenly out over the pasta, and stir gently to combine.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake it at 425° for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through.
After baking for 40 minutes, uncover the dish and stir the pasta-.
When you stir it, check it for doneness to make sure it’s cooked to al dente.
Then stir the raw shrimp into the hot pasta.
Spread the shredded mozzarella and remaining parmesan evenly out over top of the casserole dish.
Bake the casserole uncovered for another 5-10 minutes.
Carefully remove the hot casserole dish from the oven.
Stir in the butter, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with chopped fresh parsley leaves as a garnish and extra butter, if desired.
Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks
- You could substitute a drained can of lump crab meat for the shrimp. Just stir it in when you would add the shrimp.
- Make sure you use wine you would drink and avoid cooking wine. If you don’t want to use wine, use an extra cup of chicken broth instead.
- Criss crossing the noodles will help prevent them sticking together.
