Ingredients

  1. 1 lbShrimp
  2. 1 tbspPure Olive Oil
  3. 2 tbspFinely Chopped Garlic
  4. 1 1/2 cupWhite Wine
  5. 1/2Fresh Lemon (Juice Only)
  6. 1 tspItalian Seasoning Blend
  7. 1/2 cupButter
  8. 1 tbspFresh Parsely (Chopped Fine)
  9. 1Salt and Pepper (To Taste)
  10. 1/2 cupFresh Grated Parmesan Cheese

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat heavy bottomed skillet and add oil. Do not allow oil to smoke.

  2. 2

    Add shrimp, cook until tender and no longer translucent.

  3. 3

    Remove shrimp from pan and reduce heat slightly.

  4. 4

    Add garlic and cook 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to brown garlic as this will produce a slightly bitter flavor.

  5. 5

    When garlic is cooked, add white wine.

  6. 6

    Squeeze juice from lemon in pan, and reduce wine by half.

  7. 7

    After it is reduced, add Italian seasoning blend.

  8. 8

    Reduce heat to low, and slowly add butter, 1 Tbsp at a time. The butter should slowly melt into the sauce and create a nice creamy texture. If the pan is too hot the butter will separate.

  9. 9

    Once butter is fully incorporated, add shrimp back into sauce, add parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

  10. 10

    Serve with garnish of fresh cheese if desired. Scampi is great accompanied by fresh pasta.
