Shrimp Scampi

This is so easy it almost doesn't need a recipe.  Its baked so its fool proof really. I used lemon thyme because I had it and it blew me away, but if you cant get it regular thyme will be fine.

1 pound of shrimp (peeled & deveined)
1 lemon juice & zest
2 TBS butter
1 TBS olive oil
1 tsp thyme
2 garlic cloves smashed
1 TBS chopped parsley
salt & pepper

Melt the butter, oil & garlic slowly over low heat for about 10 minutes.
Season the shrimp with the thyme, lemon zest & s&p.
Pour the melted butter and oil over the shrimp and toss to coat.
In a shallow baking dish bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp.
When it comes out of the oven squeeze over the lemon juice & parsley. Thats all there is to it!
