Time 1h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
4 tablespoons plain dried breadcrumbs
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
1 pound large peeled and deveined shrimp, tails discarded, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Large pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Slices of crusty bread and/or crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top position, and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Beat the cream cheese, mozzarella, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan, 2 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium high until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to add the shrimp.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp just start to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a simmer and cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes (there will be some liquid left in the skillet). Remove the skillet from the heat, and let the shrimp cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the parsley, the remaining 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter, the lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  • Stir the shrimp, pan sauce and cream cheese mixtures together to combine; transfer to a 2-quart flameproof baking dish. (The dip and breadcrumb mixture can be covered and refrigerated overnight separately at this point.) Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the dip, and bake until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Switch the oven to broil, and cook until the top is golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with bread and/or crackers.

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons minced garlic
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 jumbo shrimp, cleaned and butterflied
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3/4 cup white wine
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Cooked pasta, for serving, optional
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Garlic bread, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Put the breadcrumbs in a skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of the garlic and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Cook, stirring, until the crumbs are toasted and caramelized, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside.

  • Add the pasta to the pan if using and additional salt if necessary. Transfer to serving bowls and top with the toasted breadcrumbs and parsley. Serve with garlic bread if desired.

CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI



Classic Shrimp Scampi image

Scampi are tiny, lobster-like crustaceans with pale pink shells (also called langoustines). Italian cooks in the United States swapped shrimp for scampi, but kept both names. Thus the dish was born, along with inevitable variations. This classic recipe makes a simple garlic, white wine and butter sauce that goes well with a pile of pasta or with a hunk of crusty bread. However you make the dish, once the shrimp are added to the pan, the trick is to cook them just long enough that they turn pink all over, but not until their bodies curl into rounds with the texture of tires.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (to taste)
1/4 cup dry white wine
6 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley, plus 1 tablespoon (for garnish)
toast or cracker, for dipping
assorted fresh vegetable (radishes, sliced cucumbers, carrots, broccoli florets, etc)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and place rack on top 3rd of the oven. Melt butter in an 8-inch cast iron skillet or oven safe pan. Saute garlic and onion until soft, about 2-3 minutes. Add shrimp, chili flakes and salt. Cook until shrimp turns pink, about 1-2 minutes. Add white wine and cook at a simmer until about 1 tablespoon liquid remains.
  • Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons parsley and salt to taste. Top with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and place skillet into oven.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until cheese is bubbling. Increase heat to broil and cook until the top is browning in spots, about 3-5 minutes more. Remove from oven and top with 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.
  • Let rest 5 minutes before serving with toast or crackers and vegetable crudite.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp. Use large, fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. Peel and devein the shrimp before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp until it is opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality butter. Butter is the key ingredient in this dip, so use a good quality butter that has a rich, creamy flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the garlic. Garlic is another important flavor ingredient in this dip. Use at least 2 cloves of garlic, minced.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as parsley and chives, add a bright, fresh flavor to the dip. Use about 1/4 cup of chopped fresh herbs.
  • Serve the dip warm. This dip is best served warm, so make it just before you plan to serve it.

Conclusion:

Buttery Shrimp Scampi Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, cheesy, and packed with shrimp flavor. Serve it with your favorite crackers, bread, or vegetables for a crowd-pleasing snack or appetizer.
