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.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs medium shrimp or 2 lbs large shrimp
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dark rum
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Peel and clean shrimp, keeping tails on. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan or wok. Saute the shrimp for two to three minutes and or until they have turned pink.
  • Remove them from the pan and set aside. Remove the balance of olive oil from pan.

  • Add the cream and coconut milk, and reduce the mixture by 50%. Scrape seeds out of the vanilla pod and discard pod. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest shrimp possible. Frozen shrimp can be used, but fresh shrimp will yield the best results.
  • Be sure to devein the shrimp before cooking. This will remove the dark vein that runs along the back of the shrimp, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it is important to watch it carefully to avoid overcooking. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stir-fry. This will add color, flavor, and texture to the dish.
  • Be sure to use a good quality vanilla bean. The vanilla bean is what will give the dish its unique flavor. Look for vanilla beans that are plump and moist.
  • If you do not have a vanilla bean, you can use vanilla extract instead. However, the flavor will not be as intense.
  • Serve the shrimp with rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Shrimp with Vanilla is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful sauce that is made with vanilla bean, garlic, and ginger. The dish is served over rice or noodles.
