Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Toss in the shrimp, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until they just turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the red pepper flakes.
Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.
Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce, and cook for another minute to ensure they're well coated and heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp, and gently toss once more.
Serve the shrimp scampi sauce over zucchini noodles or your choice of low-carb pasta alternative.
