Description

This Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi recipe brings the iconic dish from the restaurant right into your home! Featuring succulent shrimp in a buttery, garlic-infused sauce, it’s the perfect combination of flavors.

Ingredients

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 tbsp unsalted butter

3 tbsp olive oil

5 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 cup dry white wine

1/4 cup chicken broth

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  4. Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
  5. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Pour the white wine and chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any bits from the bottom. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  8. Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce to coat evenly.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley.
  10. Serve the shrimp scampi with lemon wedges for added flavor.

Notes

  1. Store leftover shrimp scampi in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  2. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of chicken broth or white wine to avoid drying out the sauce.
  3. For a gluten-free option, serve the shrimp scampi with gluten-free pasta or rice.
  4. If you prefer not to use wine, substitute with extra chicken broth or a splash of lemon juice.
