Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Shrimp large prawns, deveined and shells removed, tails off or on based on your preference
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 Tablespoons butter divided
- 5 cloves garlic minced or 1 1/2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ lemon juiced
- ¼ cup fresh chopped parsley for serving
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
- Stir in the shrimp, season it with salt and pepper and cook it for 1-2 minutes on each side until the shrimp begins to turn pink.
- Pour in the wine and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a low simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the wine reduces to about half of the amount and the shrimp is cooked through (all pink).
- Stir in the remaining butter and lemon juice and heat until the butter is fully melted
- Serve topped with the fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a dry high quality white wine for this recipe. You can use a cooking wine or chicken broth if you prefer, but a good quality wine gives the best flavor.
- If you are sensitive to spice, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes in half, do not omit it entirely as it does add a ton of flavor to the scampi.
- Make sure to have all your ingredients out and close by your stove when preparing this scampi as it does cook quickly.
- This is best served immediately but you can refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
