Steps:
- 1. Cook your favorite pasta. The recipe for the scampi portion serves 4 people, so cook enough pasta for 4 people. I personally like egg noodles for scampi, but whatever you like. You want the noodles to be just al dente when you remove them from the water - maybe even a little under al dente. Be sure to reserve about a cup of the water as you drain the pasta in case you need it later.
- 2. Heat up a large skillet and add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the olive oil over medium heat until butter is melted.
- 3. Add garlic, diced shallots, and red pepper flakes to the butter. Saute 2-3 minutes until garlic becomes fragrant.
- 4. Season shrimp to taste with salt and pepper, then add the shrimp to the skillet and saute 2-3 minutes until shrimp become opaque. Once they are cooked through, remove the shrimp from the skillet but leave the shallots and garlic in the skillet. Set the shrimp aside for a couple minutes.
- 5. Add the lemon juice and wine to the skillet and allow to come to a boil. Once it's boiling, add in the last 2 tablespoons of butter and stir until it's melted.
- 6. After the butter melts, return the shrimp back to the skillet. Then add the spinach and the cooked pasta. Stir everything together over medium heat until the spinach has wilted. If you need more moisture or if you think that the noodles and shrimp might be getting too dry during this step, this is what the reserved noodle water is for - just add in a tablespoon or two at a time as needed.
Tips:
- Use Fresh Shrimp: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh shrimp that are deveined and peeled.
- Cook the Shrimp Properly: Do not overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use Good Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a rich flavor and aroma.
- Sauté the Garlic and Red Pepper Flakes: Be careful not to burn the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook them over medium heat until the garlic is fragrant and the red pepper flakes are slightly sizzling, about 30 seconds.
- Add the Spinach: Use fresh baby spinach for the best results. Add it to the pan and cook until it is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Deglaze the Pan with White Wine: White wine adds a bright acidity to the dish. Bring the wine to a simmer and cook until it is reduced by half, about 1 minute.
- Add the Butter and Parmesan Cheese: The butter and Parmesan cheese add a rich and creamy flavor to the sauce. Stir them in until they are melted and combined.
- Serve Immediately: Shrimp scampi is best served immediately, while the shrimp are still hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
This shrimp scampi with spinach recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. The spinach adds a touch of green and nutrition to the dish. Serve this dish with your favorite pasta or rice, and you have a complete and satisfying meal.
