Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup white wine (dry)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp.
Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges. Enjoy your Scampi Sauté with crusty bread, pasta, or rice.
