Description

Shrimp Scampi is a beloved seafood dish combining succulent shrimp with a rich, garlicky sauce. Ideal for special occasions or a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

• 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¹⁄₂ cup dry white wine or chicken broth
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ¹⁄₄ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients

   Start by preparing all your ingredients. Peel and devein the shrimp, mince the garlic, chop the parsley, and measure your wine and lemon juice.
   

2. Cook Garlic

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

   Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.

   Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top. Serve hot, ideally over pasta or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
