Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
12 ounces linguine
1 1/4 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/3 cup dry white wine
Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus wedges for serving
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is just golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp to a plate. Add the wine and lemon juice to the skillet and simmer until slightly reduced, 2 minutes.
  • Return the shrimp and any juices from the plate to the skillet along with the linguine, butter and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Continue to cook, tossing, until the butter is melted and the shrimp is hot, about 2 minutes, adding more of the reserved cooking water as needed. Season with salt; stir in the parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

THE BEST SHRIMP SCAMPI



The Best Shrimp Scampi image

A classic menu item from every great Italian-American restaurant, this shrimp scampi hits all the right notes - buttery, lemony, garlicky. We love it for its simplicity and balance of flavor (copious amounts of butter help, too!). But while it looks and tastes fancy, this dish is actually very easy to make. The white wine sauce gets a spicy finish from red pepper flakes, perfect for soaking up with good crusty bread or cooked pasta.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails on (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon grated garlic (about 3 cloves)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice from about 1 lemon
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
Crusty bread or pasta, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet. Add half the shrimp and cook until golden pink, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl. Melt another tablespoon of the butter in the skillet and cook the remaining shrimp.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and let it melt. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the wine and lemon juice. Increase the heat to high and boil the liquid until it thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the parsley. Add the shrimp back to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Transfer to a serving dish and top with more chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread or pasta.

CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI



Classic Shrimp Scampi image

Scampi are tiny, lobster-like crustaceans with pale pink shells (also called langoustines). Italian cooks in the United States swapped shrimp for scampi, but kept both names. Thus the dish was born, along with inevitable variations. This classic recipe makes a simple garlic, white wine and butter sauce that goes well with a pile of pasta or with a hunk of crusty bread. However you make the dish, once the shrimp are added to the pan, the trick is to cook them just long enough that they turn pink all over, but not until their bodies curl into rounds with the texture of tires.

BAKED WALLEYE WITH SHRIMP RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Baked Walleye with Shrimp Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Carolanne

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 lbs. walleye fillets
1 egg
1/2 Cup water
1 Cup flour
1 tsp. salt (Cliff likes COARSE SEA SALT)
1 tsp. GROUND WHITE PEPPER
1 Cup bread crumbs
1-2 tsp. LEMON PEPPER, RUTH ANN'S MUSKEGO AVE. or SUNNY SPAIN, optional
1/2 Cup vegetable oil
1/4 Cup butter
1/2 Cup chopped onion (1 small)
1/2 Cup chopped celery (1-2 ribs)
1/2 Cup chopped red bell pepper (1/2 pepper)
1/2 Cup chopped orange or yellow bell pepper (1/2 pepper)
1 lb. medium shrimp, shelled (Cliff uses wild shrimp)
1/4-1/2 Cup shredded cheese, optional (Parmesan or mozzarella would both be nice)

Steps:

  • In a wide, shallow bowl, beat together the egg and the water. On a plate with a rim, combine the flour, salt and WHITE PEPPER and mix well. Put the bread crumbs on a second rimmed plate. Sprinkle the fillets with LEMON PEPPER, MUSKEGO AVE. or SUNNY SPAIN (if using). Dip the fillets in the seasoned flour, then in the egg wash and then in the breadcrumbs. Heat the oil in a large, heavy frying pan. Fry the fillets, being sure not to overcrowd, until nicely browned on both sides. Undercooking is better than overcooking. Set all the cooked fillets aside and keep warm. In the same pan, drain off the vegetable oil, trying to leave any browned bits in the pan, and melt the butter. Sauté the onions, celery and peppers until soft and set aside. Cook the shrimp until done in the same pan. Put the veggies in a baking pan; add the shrimp and then the walleye fillets in one layer. Sprinkle with cheese if desired. Broil for a few minutes to melt/brown cheese or just to crisp everything up and serve immediately.

1 cup water
⅔ cup white sugar
½ cup walnuts

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your shrimp scampi will taste. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a vibrant color. Avoid shrimp that are mushy or have a slimy texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and will also make it more difficult to get a good sear on them.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine used in shrimp scampi should be a dry wine with a crisp flavor. Avoid using a sweet wine, as this will make the scampi too sweet.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, and thyme, can add a lot of flavor to shrimp scampi. Add them towards the end of cooking so that they don't wilt.

Conclusion:

Shrimp scampi is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its combination of succulent shrimp, flavorful sauce, and hearty pasta, it's a dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give shrimp scampi a try. You won't be disappointed!
