<h2>Instructions:</h2>
<h3>1. Preheat the Oven</h3>
<p>Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your shrimp scampi bakes to perfection.</p>
<h3>2. Sauté the Garlic</h3>
<p>In a skillet, heat the pure olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté until it becomes tender and aromatic. This step sets the flavor foundation for your dish.</p>

<h3>3. Cook the Shrimp</h3>
<p>Add the large shrimp to the skillet and cook them until they turn a lovely shade of pink, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Be cautious not to overcook them, as they will continue cooking in the oven.</p>
<h3>4. Prepare the Sauce</h3>
<p>Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and arrange them in a baking dish. In the same skillet, add the white wine, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 7-10 minutes or until it reduces by half.</p>
<h3>5. Add the Butter</h3>
<p>Now comes the indulgent part. Slowly add chunks of the softened butter to the skillet, stirring well to incorporate it into the sauce. Continue until all the butter is melted, creating a rich, creamy base for your shrimp scampi.</p>

<h3>6. Assemble and Season</h3>
<p>Pour the luscious sauce over the arranged shrimp in the baking dish. Sprinkle them with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese for that perfect finishing touch. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.</p>
<h3>7. Bake to Perfection</h3>
<p>Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes. Your shrimp should be cooked through, and the cheese should be delightfully melted.</p>
<h3>8. Let It Cool</h3>
<p>Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This will let the flavors meld together, creating a harmonious taste experience.</p>
