Rock Shrimp Scampi Ingredients

Method

Rock Shrimp Scampi Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the rock shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Herbs

    Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Stir in the chopped parsley and basil. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve the rock shrimp scampi immediately with slices of crusty bread for dipping.
