Salt
1 pound bucatini pasta
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails off
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
2 lemons, 1 sliced and 1 juiced
1 stick butter
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup flat-leaf parsley, loosely packed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 cup white wine or white vermouth

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the pasta and cook to just-shy of al dente. Remove and reserve 1 cup of the cooking water.
  • Add the shrimp, the seafood seasoning and 1 sliced lemon to a medium bowl and toss to coat. Reserve.
  • Over low heat melt the butter in small pot, then stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes. Let cook and bubble gently for 10 minutes. Chop the parsley and set aside.
  • Heat large skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat Add the fennel seeds and the shrimp with the lemon slices. Cook until the shrimp are pink, about 5 to 6 minutes.

  • Drain the pasta. Add the pasta, reserved cooking water and butter to a pasta bowl and toss until the liquids are absorbed by the pasta, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp until it's just pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in shrimp scampi, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil has the best flavor.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms are great additions to shrimp scampi. They add color, flavor, and nutrients.
  • Serve with a side of bread or pasta: Shrimp scampi is a great dish to serve with a side of bread or pasta. The bread or pasta can soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Shrimp scampi is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple ingredients and quick cooking time, it's a perfect weeknight meal. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give shrimp scampi a try.
