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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the shrimp will steam instead of sautéing. Cook the shrimp in batches if necessary.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil adds a delicious flavor to the scampi. Make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Add garlic and red pepper flakes to taste: Garlic and red pepper flakes are classic additions to scampi. Add more or less of each to taste.
  • Serve with pasta or rice: Scampi is traditionally served with pasta or rice. You can also serve it with grilled vegetables or a salad.

Conclusion:

Garlic shrimp scampi is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's also elegant enough for a special occasion. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, scampi is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that's both delicious and easy to make, give garlic shrimp scampi a try.
