I love a good garlic and buttery shrimp and this shrimp scampi recipe gives me just that! It's great over noodles, rice, garlic bread or all three! This will be a regular in my house!
Ingredients:
1 lb Shrimp
4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil , divided
4 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
4 tbsp Butter
1/3 cup White Wine or Chicken Stock
2 tbsp fresh Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Parsley, minced
Instructions:
Remove the shells then devein the shrimp, rinse and drain the shrimp then transfer to a small bowl. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, half of the garlic, 1/2 tsp salt and the red pepper flakes. Toss to coat and set let sit for 20 minutes for flavors to build.
In a large skillet, warm 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and garlic mixture to the skillet, spacing evenly in the pan. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes then flip the shrimps over when they begin to become opaque. Cook for 1 more minute then transfer the shrimp to a small bowl or plate.
Melt 3 tbsp of the butter in the skillet over medium heat and add the remaining garlic. Cook for 30 seconds then stir in the white wine and lemon juice. Cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens and reduces by half, stirring occasionally.
Add the shrimp with any juices back to the pan and stir in the last tablespoon of butter and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste. Sprinkle with the minced parsley, stir, and cook for 1 more minute. Serve warm with sourdough bread for dipping, or over pasta or rice.
