Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp Scampi

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garlic Bread

  • 4 thick slices of French or Italian bread
  • Garlic butter (made by mixing softened butter with minced garlic and parsley)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the homemade garlic butter evenly on each slice of bread. Place the slices on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until the bread is golden and toasted. Set aside to keep warm.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce: To the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon butter and pour in the white wine (or chicken broth). Let this simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in lemon juice, red pepper flakes if using, and the remaining butter, stirring until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
  4. Combine and Serve: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat with the buttery sauce. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve the shrimp and sauce divided into bowls alongside the warm garlic bread. Garnish with extra parsley if desired. Enjoy your flavorful shrimp scampi bowls!

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute white wine with chicken broth as suggested.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional, add them to your preferred spice level.
  • Use fresh parsley for a brighter flavor and garnish effect.
  • Garlic butter can be made in advance and kept refrigerated for convenience.
  • Ensure shrimp are cooked just until pink to keep them tender and juicy.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
