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!
