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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces short pasta, such as penne or fusilli
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 1/2 teaspoons (or more) kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon (or more) freshly ground black pepper
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen broccoli florets
6 ounces green beans, preferably haricots verts, trimmed
8 ounces large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails left on
1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 cup frozen green peas
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 cup coarsely chopped basil
Red pepper flakes (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Place pasta in a large, wide-bottomed pot or large, wide, straight-sided pan. Add garlic, salt, black pepper, and 3 1/2 cups hot water. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover and cook, setting a timer for cooking pasta according to package directions and stirring often. When 5 minutes remain on timer, stir in broccoli and green beans. Cover pot and return to a boil. (If pot starts to dry out at any point, add another 1/2 cup water.) When 2 minutes remain on timer, stir in shrimp, tomatoes, peas, and butter. Cover and continue to cook 2 minutes, then uncover and cook, stirring, until pasta is tender, shrimp are cooked through, and water is almost completely evaporated, about 1 minute more.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in lemon zest and 3/4 cup Parmesan and toss to coat. Season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Divide pasta among plates. Top with basil, additional Parmesan, and red pepper, if using.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your scampi primavera will taste. If possible, use organic vegetables and seafood.
  • Cook the scampi properly: Scampi should be cooked until it is opaque and firm, but not overcooked. Overcooked scampi will be tough and chewy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the scampi, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the scampi from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in scampi primavera, so make sure you use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice.
  • Season to taste: Once your scampi primavera is cooked, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried oregano.

Conclusion:

Scampi primavera is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a scampi primavera that is sure to impress your family and friends.
