Shrimp Scampi With Butter and Garlic Recipe




Shrimp scampi is a popular seafood dish offered in many fine restaurants. Shrimp scampi is quick and easy to make at home as well.

There are many combinations of shrimp scampi recipes, served alone, or often over pasta, both make an excellent seafood meal. The shrimp can be cooked in the butter if desired, rather than boiling it, if you prefer. The key to good shrimp, as with all seafood, is not to over cook it. Cooked shrimp is done when it turns pink.

Shrimp Scampi Ingredients:
1 pound medium shrimp
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup chopped chives
3 tablespoons garlic, minced and added to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
2 Tablespoons parsley, snipped
1/4 cup dry white wine (or water)

Cooking Instructions:
Devein and shell the shrimp. Bring a pan of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat. The shrimp is done when it turns pink. Do not over cook. In a large skillet, melt the butter. Saute the onion and chives. Add the garlic, stir fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the pepper, seasoning salt and parsley. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine, whisk, and return the shrimp to the pan to reheat. Serve alone or over spaghetti or linguine pasta. Top with parmesan cheese if desired. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
