Scampi Caprese Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Clean and slice the mushrooms, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Mince the garlic and chop the basil.

2. 2

   Sauté the Mushrooms

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Garlic and Shrimp

   Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   Deglaze with White Wine

   Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes to reduce slightly.

5. 5

   Add Tomatoes and Season

   Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are just softened.

6. 6

   Finish with Basil

   Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh basil. Adjust seasoning if needed.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the Scampi Caprese hot, garnished with additional basil if desired. It pairs well with crusty bread or over pasta.
