WOULD YOU EAT THIS FAMOUS RED LOBSTER SHRIMP SCAMPI 🍤🧄🍋✨

Ingredients:

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)

4 tbsp unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for spice)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tbsp olive oil

Cooked pasta or crusty bread (for serving)

Instructions:

Sauté the Shrimp:

In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Garlic:

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tbsp of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Deglaze the Pan:

Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and lemon juice, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Return the Shrimp:

Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.

Serve:

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately over cooked pasta or with crusty bread for dipping.

Helpful Tips:

Creamy Option: Add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce for a richer, creamier scampi.

No Wine: Substitute chicken broth for white wine if you prefer.
