Whereas Scampi actually refers to a kind of lobster and not to
shrimp, Shrimp Scampi is the common term for a dish of the American
cuisine using garlic butter and dry white wine whether being based
on lobster, prawn or well, shrimp
This is a great recipe and is best to be served with pasta or
garlic bread.
Optional step: Take a pot; pour water into it and a little salt.
Bring the water to a boil and add your pasta. After some 8-10
minutes the pasta should be al dente (see your package instructions
for details), drain out and set aside for later use.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare your ingredients for the shrimp
scampi. Slice the cloves of garlic nicely and finely. Peel off the
shrimp and wash them with water cleaning it thoroughly. Cut the
parsley.
Next take a pan and place it on high heat. Add butter and olive
oil. Next add the garlic and saute until it turns brown. Once this
is done, add red pepper flakes to the sauteed garlic.
Take a cup of white wine and pour it in the pan with a pinch of
salt and boil it at high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes. Next add
the peeled shrimp to the pan cook for another 2-3 minutes turning
them constantly. Make sure that the heat is high during the entire
process. Next add chopped coriander, some pepper and mix.
Take out the boiled pasta onto a serving plate and top it with
shrimp scampi. Dish it up with parsley and serve right away.
Tips: Shrimp Scampi recipe can also be served with bread or steamed
rice. You can add vegetables to the rice to make it more
flavorsome. If you like your scampi hot, add in more of red chile
flakes or sauteed chile.
A fresh note is given if you add pesto sauce.
You can also use crayfish or lobster tails for the scampi recipe.
This would be actually the traditional way. Lightly sear the
crayfish or lobster tails in unsalted butter and enjoy!
