Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup gluten-free chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
Pour in the dry white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes to let the alcohol evaporate.
Add the gluten-free chicken broth, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and remaining salt and pepper to the skillet. Stir the mixture to combine.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum lightly over the sauce, stirring constantly to thicken slightly. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce, and heat for another minute.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley.
Serve the gluten-free shrimp scampi sauce over your choice of gluten-free pasta, rice, or as a dip with gluten-free bread.
