How to Make Shrimp Scampi Garlic Bread

  1. Preheat oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the baguette lengthwise, creating a pocket. Scoop out some of the bread from the inside, leaving about a 1/2-inch border.
  3. In a small bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and stir to combine.
  4. Brush the melted garlic butter generously over the inside and outside of the baguette.
  5. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese over the bread.
  6. Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and toasted. Set aside.
  7. In a large skillet, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  8. Add the remaining 4 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  9. Add the red pepper flakes and white wine; bring to a simmer.
  10. Add the shrimp and cream cheese. Cook until the shrimp is pink and opaque and the cream cheese is melted and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  11. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Spoon the shrimp scampi mixture into the prepared baguette.
  13. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
