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
- Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- 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.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- 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.
- Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce to coat evenly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley.
- Serve the shrimp scampi with lemon wedges for added flavor.
Notes
- Store leftover shrimp scampi in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of chicken broth or white wine to avoid drying out the sauce.
- For a gluten-free option, serve the shrimp scampi with gluten-free pasta or rice.
- If you prefer not to use wine, substitute with extra chicken broth or a splash of lemon juice.
