Shrimp Scampi - So Delicious You Make It Every Week!
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3-4 (or more) large garlic cloves, minced (or about 1 to 2 tablespoons minced garlic)
- 1 1/4 pounds (600 grams) large shrimp prawns, shelled with tails on or off
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or to taste (optional)
- 1/3 teaspoon of either lemon juice or lemon peel
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
Instructions
Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan or skillet. Then add the shrimp, season
with salt and pepper to taste and sauté for 1-2 minutes on one side and then flip. Add butter to the mix. Add garlic mixture and sauté until fragrant (about
2 minutes.)
Add the white wine and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes or until wine reduces by about half and the shrimp is cooked through (don't overcook the shrimp).
Add your choice of pasta to the mix and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Plate and enjoy.

Oh I wish we could have some of this every week. The hubby is allergic to fish so it’s not something we eat on a regular basis. It looks and sounds absolutely delicious
