Shrimp

Method

Preparing the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the asparagus, bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  2. 4

    Combine with Pesto

    Add the pesto sauce to the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.

Final Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Shrimp and Vegetables

    Add the sautéed shrimp back into the skillet with the vegetables and pesto. Toss gently to combine and heat through for about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Scampi al Lorenzo hot, garnished with extra crushed red pepper if desired.
