Categories     Fish     Sauté

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 to 2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined (or chicken)
1/2 cup minced parsley
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
salt to taste
vegetables such as sweet onions, peppers, etc. (optional)

Steps:

  • Tip: To make a low fat version, use only 1/4 cup of oil (or just a few tablespoons). Please note that if you serve this over noodles, the noodles will be a little dry. This can be compensated by adding a sauce to the noodles. For example a thin Alfredo sauce, or a can of cream of chicken soup mixed with a can of milk, a half cup of Parmesan, a dash of Italian seasoning, and salt to taste. Cook garlic and oil in skillet over very low heat until garlic is golden brown. Add shrimp (or chicken) and cook on medium high heat. Half way through cook time, add parsley and vegetables and continue cooking until shrimp is done (it will be firm and pink). Sprinkle with lemon juice and salt to taste. Serve with bread or serve over hot pasta (such as angel hair). Sprinkle with Parmesan if desired.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts to the sauce, and it was delicious.

I've made this chicken scampi recipe several times, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and addictive. I like to serve it with rice or pasta.

This shrimp scampi recipe is a keeper! The sauce was creamy, garlicky, and lemony, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I served it over linguine, and it was a hit with my family.
