Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi: Restaurant-Quality in 20 Minutes
Description
Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi features shrimp baked in a mixture of butter, minced garlic, and dry white wine, which infuses the seafood with rich, aromatic flavors. The shrimp sits in a well-seasoned, buttery sauce, and a layer of Italian breadcrumbs tossed with melted butter adds a golden crispy topping after baking.
The method involves quickly sautéing garlic in butter to extract scent and flavor, then adding white wine for acidity before combining with the shrimp in a baking dish. The breadcrumb topping melts and crisps in the oven, complementing the tender shrimp beneath. The shrimp is cooked just until pink, ensuring it remains juicy and not overdone.
This dish can serve as a main entree or be paired with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the buttery sauce. Its relatively straightforward preparation is suitable for a home-cooked seafood dinner with a textured crust finish.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter unsalted
- 3 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 cup white wine dry
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and de-veined, raw
- ½ cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon butter for bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small saucepan saute together the butter and the minced garlic until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add white wine to the saucepan and heat through.
- In a small bowl melt the butter in the microwave,
- Add breadcrumbs to the melted butter and stir to combine.
- Place shrimp in a baking dish, pour the garlic butter wine sauce over them, and top with breadcrumbs.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until shrimp is done. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. The shrimp is done when it has turned pink.
