Quick and Easy Shrimp Scampi
Report
This shrimp scampi recipe is fast and easy! It tastes unbelievably luxurious using just a handful of ingredients. Bright lemon juice, garlic, and a splash of white wine make it irresistible.

Ingredients
- 1 pound uncooked extra large (26-30/lb. size) shrimp thawed & peeled, tails optional
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) divided
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep your shrimp (if frozen, add them to a colander and run under cool water until thawed). Since these are large shrimp, you may want to devein them as well (see blog post for tips on that). I recommend prepping every ingredient ahead of time since this recipe goes quick.
- Melt half the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 1 minute/side. I use cooking tongs to flip them quickly.
- Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes.
- Add in the rest of the butter and the lemon juice and parsley. Once the butter melts, give it a stir and take the pan off the heat. Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use different size shrimp than suggested. Cooking time may need to be adjusted a bit if they're much smaller or much bigger than 26/30 size.
- The red pepper flakes give the recipe a slight kick, but feel free to omit them if you prefer.
- This recipe also appears in the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials cookbook.
