One of my all-time favorite recipes is the traditional green bean au gratin. The creamy, rich cheese sauce in this casserole complements the green beans without taking their place as the main attraction; it goes great with your holiday ham or turkey. Although your family is likely anticipating the same old green bean casserole you’ve been preparing for decades (the one with condensed soup, a ton of cheese, and way too many bread crumbs or French-fried onions), if they taste this one, it may start a new holiday tradition!

I have made this three times. The seasonings with oil are a perfect combination. I love the fact that they can be done in the oven. I have served this over pasta and, for me, it is so much easier than sauteeing the scampi on the stove top. Fifteen minutes in the oven gives me just enough time to cook the pasta, toss the salad, etc.
Made exactly as mentioned. I always soak my raw shrimp in lemon water before cooking. Gives them a nice flavor.
I think this was the best scampi I ever had. So quick and easy too. Will be making it over and over again.
I have made this recipes many times. I have doubled the sauce recipe cause we like it tasty and moist. The recipe has never failed
Beyond delish. You have to try it!

This is the simplest, most delicious shrimp recipe! I had it with spinach linguine and used the pan drippings as sauce. Thanks!
I had a 2lb bag of shrimp and using 2 cast iron skillets made one EXACTLY to the recipe and the 2nd had an addition of some dried lemon zest and a bit of lemon juice. I put them both on the table and my husband said they both were delicious and there was no difference. However the skillet that got emptied first was the one with the lemon. This is an excellent recipe, very simple and the hardest part was getting the slippery shrimp to line up in the same direction.
I made this using large shrimp instead of the smaller ones. It was easy to follow and saved more time than making it in a skillet. I did use a little of the red pepper flakes and found it made the recipe better but hubby didn’t care for the heat. I will make it again, leaving out the rpflakes.
I used shrimp my husband caught in Prince William Sound in Alaska. He looooved this! I thought it was a little better than okay so four stars. Will make again.
Very tasty. I did add the juice of one lemon to the marinade.
Fantastic, my only change was making the pepper fresh cracked and upping the amount. My family and nephews raved about how much they liked it.
It was fantastic — we will definitely make it again. I followed the recipe — I did soak the shrimp in buttermilk prior to marinating it.
Both my husband and I enjoyed this recipe. The only change that I made was I used 1lb. of large shrimp. I didn’t have any medium in the freezer. The next time that I make this I will use the medium.
It may not be traditional scampi but I don’t care. It’s quick and easy and so tasty served over pasta!
Really quick and easy recipe! I served the shrimp with quinoa & spinach.
I added a small amount of pepper flakes to give it some “zing” otherwise this recipe was made as suggested. It was wonderful! Definitely will serve this again!!
I made this last night for shrimp toppings on a falafel crusted pizza I made. It was fabulous! So easy and delicious. This is a keeper recipe.
