Classic Italian Shrimp Scampi
Share
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp
- 5 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup white wine
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Pasta, or bread, for serving
Steps to Make It
-
If you are serving the scampi with pasta, set the water to a boil and add a palmful of salt. When it boils, put a large saute pan on another burner and turn the heat on high.
-
Slice the garlic cloves as thin as you can.
-
Add the pasta to the boiling water and the butter and olive oil to the saute pan.
-
Sauté the garlic for a minute or so—do not let it burn—and then add the red pepper flakes.
-
Add the white wine and a little salt and let it boil furiously for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the shrimp.
-
Let the shrimp jump in the pan over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them and add the parsley and the black pepper. Wait one minute and then mix well and turn off the heat.
-
The pasta should be done by now, so drain it.
-
Add the lemon juice to the scampi, then mix it with the pasta and serve at once. If you’re going the bread route, just pour the scampi in a bowl and have at it.
