Shrimp Scampi

3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 lb uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 tsp pepper
hot cooked angel hair pasta

In a 12-in. ovenproof  skillet, saute garlic in butter and oil until tender.  
 
Stir in the shrimp, lemon juice, pepper and oregano; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. 
 
 Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and parsley.  
 
Broil 6 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until topping is golden brown.  
 
Serve over pasta.  
 
(I do think this is still good without breadcrumbs and using dry parsley.  Also, I use frozen shrimp most of the time.)
