SIMPLE GARLIC & BUTTER SHRIMP WITH SPAGHETTI (SHRIMP SCAMPI)



Simple Garlic & Butter Shrimp with Spaghetti (Shrimp Scampi) image

Provided by Christina Conte (Christina's Cucina)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb of good quality, fresh or frozen RAW shrimp (shelled, deveined, cleaned with the tail left on)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp good quality butter, like Kerrygold
3 to 5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley (fresh is best, if not use frozen or 1/2 tsp of dried)
salt and pepper
dash of white wine or water from the cooked pasta
1 lb spaghetti (I highly recommend De Cecco- it makes a huge difference)

Steps:

  • Cook the spaghetti as directed on the box. While it is simmering, make the shrimp and sauce.
  • Rinse, then dry the shrimp in paper towel.
  • Place the olive oil and 1 tbsp of the butter in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, then add the parsley.
  • Turn the heat up, then add the shrimp.
  • The shrimp will only need to cook for about 4 or 5 minutes, so as soon as they turn pink, turn them over and make sure they are evenly cooked. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Add a little white wine (or water from the pasta that's cooking), and the other 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Stir well and remove from heat. Cover to keep warm until the pasta is ready.
  • Drain the pasta and place in a bowl with the shrimp and sauce added on top. Stir to coat the pasta.
  • Serve immediately.

SHRIMP SCAMPI W/SPAGHETTI



Shrimp Scampi W/Spaghetti image

This is a quick and easy shrimp dish. It takes less than 1/2 hour from start to finish! You can even eliminate the spaghetti and eat just with the shrimp. Be sure to have plenty of Italian bread to mop up the extra scampi sauce! You can even serve over plain white rice. This also freezes very well. Just defrost in a refrigerator, reheat and serve over freshly made pasta! This recipe serves about 4 people and can easily be doubled or tripled to make more. If you like more shrimp, add more...it will not affect the taste!

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup white wine
15 minced garlic cloves
1/2 cup fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons of grated Italian cheese
1 lb spaghetti, Cooked and Drained
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan add the Olive oil and butter together over a medium heat until all the butter is melted.
  • Add 1/2 the garlic to the saucepan and simmer for about 3 minutes till the garlic starts to get transparent. (make sure your heat is not too high, you don't want the garlic to brown at all, it will create a very bitter taste).
  • After 3 minutes add the white wine to the mixture. If using gas heat, make sure to remove the pan from heat before adding the wine to avoid fire. Stir mixture and allow to cook together for 4 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp and rest of garlic to mixture and stir together. after about 3 minutes, flip over the shrimp to make sure both sides cook evenly. Cook for another 3 or 4 minutes.
  • After all the shrimp are cooked and the mixture is mixed thoroughly remove from heat and add the parsley and cheese. Stir it all together and serve over cooked pasta. I allow people to add their own salt and pepper to taste as the italian cheese has a very salty taste! Enjoy!

THE REALTOR'S SHRIMP SCAMPI W/SPAGHETTI



The Realtor's Shrimp Scampi W/Spaghetti image

This will blow you away. The first time you serve this, you'll be ok because they don't know how great it's going to be. The second time you serve this, you better put it on the table and get out of the way FAST cause they are going to knock you down trying to get to it. It's a recipe that I have developed through years of making it over and over and over. This is the best version I have been able to create. NOTE: This recipe is to be used with 1/2 pound of spaghetti. If you are using 1lb of spaghetti, double the recipe because there won't be enough sauce for a full pound. If you are doubling it, don't double the lemon juice or it'll be too tart, just bump it up to 3 Tbsp. and only bump the lemon pepper up to 3/4 tsp or it will be too salty for some people. MANGIA!

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.

Categories     weekday, weeknight, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine or broth
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 3/4 pounds large or extra-large shrimp, shelled
1/3 cup chopped parsley
Freshly squeezed juice of half a lemon
Cooked pasta or crusty bread

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine or broth, salt, red pepper flakes and plenty of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Let wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp.
  • Clean the shrimp properly. Remove the heads, tails, and shells from the shrimp. Devein the shrimp by making a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp and removing the dark vein.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil will add a rich flavor to the scampi.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the shrimp will not cook evenly.
  • Add the garlic and white wine at the end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent the garlic from burning and the white wine from evaporating.
  • Serve the scampi immediately. Shrimp scampi is best served hot.

Conclusion:

Shrimp scampi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. With its simple ingredients and elegant presentation, shrimp scampi is sure to impress your guests.
