Shrimp Scampi Recipe

Shrimp Scampi Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Shrimp

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Garlic and Capers

   In the same skillet, add minced garlic and capers. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

3. 3

   Deglaze with Wine

   Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

4. 4

   Add Lemon and Butter

   Stir in the lemon juice, butter, salt, and black pepper. Allow the butter to melt, stirring until the sauce is smooth.

5. 5

   Combine with Shrimp

   Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the shrimp are heated through.

6. 6

   Prepare the Ciabatta

   While the shrimp is cooking, grill or toast the ciabatta slices until golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Serve

   Plate the shrimp scampi and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with the grilled ciabatta on the side.
