SHRIMP SCAMPI FOR ONE image

Categories     Pasta     Dinner

Yield 1 person

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 pound 21 count shrimp, about 6
1 large shallot, minced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons cream
Splash of white wine (optional)
1/8 Teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Parmesan cheese (optional)
Salt and pepper
Spaghetti (about the size of a quarter when held together)
1/4 Cup reserved pasta water

Steps:

  • 1) Cook pasta according to package. Reserve some of the cooking water for the sauce later. Drain the pasta and set it aside. 2) Mince garlic and shallots and clean the shrimp if they aren't already cleaned. 3) Add butter to pot over medium heat. Once hot and melted, added shallots and garlic and cook for a minute until soft. 4) Add shrimp along with a splash of white wine, and the crushed red pepper. Cook shrimp about 90 seconds a side until they are just cooked. Try not to overcook them. 5) Add cream to the shrimp and stir. The sauce should reduce nicely. 6) Add pasta back into the pot and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. If sauce is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to thin it out. Don't make it too thin though! Serve immediately!

This recipe is not for beginners. It's quite complicated and the instructions are not very clear.

I followed the recipe but the shrimp turned out overcooked. I think I will reduce the cooking time next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more garlic and red pepper flakes next time.

I've tried many shrimp scampi recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of white wine and lemon zest really takes the flavor to the next level.
