Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp, large, raw, peeled, deveined
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup White wine, or chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1/2 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes, optional, for heat
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish, optional
- 8 ounces Cooked pasta, such as linguine or spaghetti
Instructions
- Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp if using fresh. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
- Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors together.
- Stir in freshly chopped parsley, then serve the shrimp scampi over pasta, rice, or alongside crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy!
