🍤 Shrimp Scampi
Yield: 4 servings | Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on or off)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Truly Delicious Foods Garlic Blend
- ½ cup dry white wine (or low-sodium chicken broth)
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Juice of half a lemon
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup chopped parsley or parsley flakes
- 8 oz spaghetti, angel hair, or linguine (cooked and drained)
Instructions:
1. Sauté the Garlic Blend
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil together.
- Add Truly Delicious Garlic Blend and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Add the Shrimp
- Season shrimp with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side until they turn pink.
3. Deglaze with Wine & Finish
- Pour in the wine (or broth) and lemon juice.
- Let simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
4. Combine with Pasta
- Add cooked pasta directly into the skillet. Toss to coat in the sauce.
- Add chopped parsley and a final swirl of butter if you like it extra rich.
5. Serve
- Plate immediately with a lemon wedge or sprinkle of parmesan cheese (optional).
🔥 Tips:
- Don’t overcook the shrimp — as soon as they turn pink and curl, they’re done.
- Swap wine for broth to keep it family-friendly.
- Use your Truly Delicious Garlic Blend as a marinade ahead of time for even deeper flavor!
