Categories: Seafood, Wine, Chilies, Citrus, Pasta
Yield: 6 Servings
2 lb Peeled scampi or lg shrimp
10 cl Garlic
4 tb Fine chopped coriander
1 ts Red pepper flakes
2 tb Butter
4 tb Olive oil
1 c Dry white wine

Whereas Scampi actually refers to a kind of lobster and
not to shrimp, Shrimp Scampi is the common term for a
dish of the American cuisine using garlic butter and dry
white wine whether being based on lobster, prawn or well,
shrimp
This is a great recipe and is best to be served with
pasta or garlic bread.
Optional step: Take a pot; pour water into it and a
little salt. Bring the water to a boil and add your
pasta. After some 8-10 minutes the pasta should be al
dente (see your package instructions for details),
drain out and set aside for later use.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare your ingredients
for the shrimp scampi. Slice the cloves of garlic nicely
and finely. Peel off the shrimp and wash them with water
cleaning it thoroughly. Cut the parsley.
Next take a pan and place it on high heat. Add butter
and olive oil. Next add the garlic and saute until it
turns brown. Once this is done, add red pepper flakes
to the sauteed garlic.
Take a cup of white wine and pour it in the pan with a
pinch of salt and boil it at high heat for about 2 to 3
minutes. Next add the peeled shrimp to the pan cook for
another 2-3 minutes turning them constantly. Make sure
that the heat is high during the entire process. Next
add chopped coriander, some pepper and mix.
Take out the boiled pasta onto a serving plate and top
it with shrimp scampi. Dish it up with parsley and serve
right away.
Tips: Shrimp Scampi recipe can also be served with bread
or steamed rice. You can add vegetables to the rice to
make it more flavorsome. If you like your scampi hot,
add in more of red chile flakes or sauteed chile.
A fresh note is given if you add pesto sauce.
You can also use crayfish or lobster tails for the
scampi recipe. This would be actually the traditional
way. Lightly sear the crayfish or lobster tails in
unsalted butter and enjoy!
