Shrimp Scampi Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Lemon Juice

    Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly.

  4. 4

    Combine Shrimp and Sauce

    Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir to coat them in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in the chopped parsley, and serve hot over pasta or with crusty bread.
