Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 finely minced garlic cloves
- 3 pounds peeled and deveined 21/25 shrimp
- ½ cup dry white wine
- Juice of 1 lemon about 2 to 3 tablespoons
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- coarse salt crushed red pepper flakes, and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a large pan or rondeau over low to medium heat and let it get hot for about a minute. Then add the garlic and cook while stirring it, just until you smell it, which takes about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Pour the shrimp, stir, and cook it for 60 to 90 seconds.
- Next, add the white wine and cook for 60 to 90 seconds.
- Finish by stirring in the lemon juice, parsley, butter, sea salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and pepper until combined.
- Serve with crusty bread or toss with cooked al dente pasta.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This recipe is meant to be eaten as soon as cooked. If it sits too long, the shrimp will become overcooked and chewy.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can freeze these covered for up to 3 months. Thaw for one day in the fridge before reheating.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired shrimp scampi to a large frying pan over medium to high heat and cook until warm.
- The number before shrimp represents how many will make up one pound.
- If you want to alter the flavor slightly, add fresh herbs such as basil, oregano, chives, or thyme.
- This recipe makes quite a bit, so scale it to suit your needs. To serve, figure 4-6 ounces of shrimp per person.
- You can cook this recipe over higher heat, but it will risk overcooking the shrimp.
- When the shrimp are done cooking, they will be in the shape of a C, and if it is very tight and firm, it is most likely overcooked.
- If you do not want to use wine, substitute it with chicken stock.
