Shrimp scampi is a classic Italian-American dish that typically consists of shrimp, butter, garlic, white wine, and lemon juice. However, if you are looking for a healthier alternative to the traditional recipe, you can easily make a delicious no-butter shrimp scampi that is just as flavorful and satisfying. Using olive oil instead of butter not only reduces the fat content of the dish but also adds a subtle, fruity flavor that complements the shrimp perfectly. This healthier version of shrimp scampi is not only easy to make, but it is also packed with protein, healthy fats, and a variety of vitamins and minerals.

BAKED SHRIMP SCAMPI



Baked Shrimp Scampi image

I've probably been making this recipe since I got it from my Mom in about 1985. I have no idea where she got the recipe from. I've been changing it over the years, and now I call it my own. When we started dating back in 1997, my husband would every now and then order shrimp scampi at a restaurant and always regret it afterwards, saying none of them competed with mine. You can vary the amounts of some of the ingredients, like the cayenne and garlic, to suit your taste. That's what I've done here because we like spicy and garlicky. Yum! Serve over angel hair pasta or any pasta of your choosing.

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)

  • 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.

  • 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!
