GARLICKY LEMONY SHRIMP SCAMPI



Garlicky Lemony Shrimp Scampi image

An Italian-American classic, these garlicky and wine-bathed beauties can be prepared quickly in your kitchen. Many cooks serve them over pasta or with a side of crusty bread, and either would make a great meal. Don't skimp on the shrimp size: use at least 21 to 25 (shrimp per pound [454 g]) or even jumbos (10 to 15 shrimp per pound [454 g]) because small shrimp cook too fast and don't have that plump, crisp texture. The key to this dish is to get that pan smoking hot before you start and to work fast. Mise en place is important, so have all your items prepped to keep up with the speed of the heat.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup (120 ml) dry white wine or chicken stock
Heavy pinch of Maldon sea salt
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds (910 g) large or extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons (8 g) chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. You want the pan hot but not smoking hot; you can add a few drops of water to see if they sear and evaporate immediately. Swirl in the butter and olive oil until the butter melts and the pan smokes lightly. Toss in the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Carefully pour in the wine and cook, swirling, until reduced by half, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Season with salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper.
  • Add the shrimp, constantly tossing until they just turn from translucent to slightly opaque or pink, 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the size. Add the lemon juice and parsley. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.

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.

LEMONY SHRIMP SCAMPI



Lemony Shrimp Scampi image

Easy and elegant, this dish is a real catch. The use of the word "scampi" to mean a garlicky, buttery preparation for shrimp is more Italian-American than Italian; it's thought to have first appeared on a menu in 1950s New Jersey.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Use unsalted butter to prevent the scampi from becoming too salty.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Serve the scampi immediately over pasta, rice, or your favorite side dish.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Lemon Dijon shrimp scampi is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The shrimp is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and tangy. Serve it over your favorite pasta or rice, and you have a delicious meal that is ready in under 30 minutes.
