Provided by Steph Loaiza

Categories     Main Course

Time 34m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound thin spaghetti (or angel hair pasta)
1 pound uncooked jumbo shrimp ((peeled, deveined, tails removed and fully thawed))
8 Tablespoons butter (divided)
6 garlic cloves (minced)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon white vinegar
½ lemon (juiced)
2 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup fresh asparagus (cut into 2-inch pieces)
1 cup Roma tomatoes (diced)
salt and pepper, to taste
fresh grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over medium-high heat.
  • Then, in a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 4 Tablespoons of butter. Lightly season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally until pink; about 2 minutes per side (be careful not to overcook the shrimp! You will want to cook until the shrimp have barely turned pink on all sides and it happens fast!). Remove the shrimp to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Add the pasta into the pot of boiling water and cook for 6-8 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Drain, saving 1/2 cup of the pasta water, and set the pasta aside.
  • While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. In the same skillet used to cooked the shrimp, add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute the garlic for about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth and vinegar.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and then lower the heat. Simmer for 5-8 minutes until the chicken broth has reduced by half. Add the lemon juice and asparagus and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter to the sauce along with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, then stir to combine.
  • Return the shrimp to the skillet, along with the diced tomatoes and cooked pasta. Using tongs, lightly toss the pasta, shrimp and veggies in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed to make sure that everything is coated evenly with sauce. Add more salt and pepper as needed.
  • Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Gather and measure all ingredients before starting to cook. This will help ensure that you have everything you need and that the cooking process goes smoothly.
  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will result in a more flavorful dish. When selecting shrimp, look for ones that are firm and have a slightly briny smell. For chicken, choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
  • Don't Overcook the Seafood: Shrimp and chicken cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy.
  • Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: Olive oil is an essential ingredient in scampi. Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your scampi well. Salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon are all essential seasonings for this dish.
  • Serve Immediately: Scampi is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Chicken shrimp scampi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give chicken shrimp scampi a try. You won't be disappointed!
