Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons minced garlic
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 jumbo shrimp, cleaned and butterflied
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3/4 cup white wine
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Cooked pasta, for serving, optional
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Garlic bread, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Put the breadcrumbs in a skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of the garlic and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Cook, stirring, until the crumbs are toasted and caramelized, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a saute pan large enough to comfortably fit the shrimp in 1 layer, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook, without moving the shrimp, until caramelized on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp over and cook for another 2 minutes; remove from the pan.
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the white wine and remaining 2 tablespoons garlic and cook for 1 minute. Return the shrimp to the pan. Add the Worcestershire, lemon zest and juice and remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Cook, simmering, until the liquid thickens.
  • Add the pasta to the pan if using and additional salt if necessary. Transfer to serving bowls and top with the toasted breadcrumbs and parsley. Serve with garlic bread if desired.

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:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp is essential for this recipe, as it has a much better flavor and texture than frozen shrimp. If you can't find fresh shrimp, you can use frozen shrimp, but be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until it is pink and opaque.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe is a great way to use up any leftover vegetables that you have in your fridge. Some good options include broccoli, zucchini, carrots, and bell peppers.
  • Season the dish to taste. This recipe is fairly simple, so it's important to season it to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Conclusion:

Shrimp scampi is a quick and easy seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's made with fresh shrimp, vegetables, and a flavorful garlic sauce. This recipe is also very versatile, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. For example, you can add different vegetables, use a different type of pasta, or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
