Ingredients

Think of this as my garlic butter shrimp — but slightly elevated! The sauce has just a few extra ingredients that add a deep, delicious flavor.

Shrimp: Grab jumbo shrimp that are already peeled and deveined. And if you are using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them overnight in the fridge.

Shrimp Scampi Sauce: This simple sauce is what makes this recipe shine! All you need is butter, olive oil, dry white wine, fresh garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt.

Garnishes: Don’t skip the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley at the end! They tie all the flavors together and present the dish beautifully.

Instructions

How To Make Shrimp Scampi

Make the sauce. Melt the butter and oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds, then add the wine, salt, and red pepper flakes. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let the liquid reduce by half.

Sauté the shrimp. Add the shrimp and sauté for about 3 minutes, until just cooked through. Keep your eye on the time as shrimp can easily overcook and become rubbery!

Garnish. Don’t forget the final touches! Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top and toss everything with the parsley.
