Kitchen Equipment Needed:

  1. Large skillet or frying pan
  2. Mixing bowl
  3. Chef’s knife
  4. Cutting board
  5. Wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Cooked pasta or crusty bread, for serving

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
  3. Cook the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden brown.
  4. Sauté the Shrimp: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the seasoned shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.
  5. Deglaze the Pan: If using white wine, pour it into the pan and stir to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add the Lemon: Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest, along with the red pepper flakes if using. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Serve: Remove the pan from the heat and garnish the shrimp scampi with chopped fresh parsley. Serve the shrimp scampi hot over cooked pasta or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  8. Enjoy: Dive
