Gourmet Shrimp Scampi
Ingredients:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 ounces linguine or spaghetti, optional
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, or adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions:
- Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper.
- If using, cook the pasta according to instructions; drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side or until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the chicken or vegetable broth and white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Add lemon zest and lemon juice. Toss everything together to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it with the shrimp and sauce until well combined. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- If you want to cut the carbs, simply eliminate the pasta from this RV recipe. The shrimp can stand on its own without it!
