SHRIMP SCAMPI FOR ONE image

Categories     Pasta     Dinner

Yield 1 person

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 pound 21 count shrimp, about 6
1 large shallot, minced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons cream
Splash of white wine (optional)
1/8 Teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Parmesan cheese (optional)
Salt and pepper
Spaghetti (about the size of a quarter when held together)
1/4 Cup reserved pasta water

Steps:

  • 1) Cook pasta according to package. Reserve some of the cooking water for the sauce later. Drain the pasta and set it aside. 2) Mince garlic and shallots and clean the shrimp if they aren't already cleaned. 3) Add butter to pot over medium heat. Once hot and melted, added shallots and garlic and cook for a minute until soft. 4) Add shrimp along with a splash of white wine, and the crushed red pepper. Cook shrimp about 90 seconds a side until they are just cooked. Try not to overcook them. 5) Add cream to the shrimp and stir. The sauce should reduce nicely. 6) Add pasta back into the pot and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. If sauce is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to thin it out. Don't make it too thin though! Serve immediately!

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I think I'll stick to my old shrimp scampi recipe.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less butter and salt next time. Other than that, it was a good recipe and the shrimp were cooked perfectly.
