Shrimp Scampi


This is my husband's recipe for shrimp scampi and it is delicious! This recipe is also super easy and quick to make!

To make 2 servings of shrimp scampi you will need:
  • 6 oz. PASTA (we used fettuccine)
  • 12 oz. SHRIMP
  • 3 Tbs UNSALTED BUTTER
  • 2 Tbs OLIVE OIL
  • 1/2 medium ONION, chopped
  • 2 cloves GARLIC, minced
  • 1/8 tsp RED PEPPER (feel free to add more if you like spicy food!)
  • 1/2 tsp SALT
  • 1/4 tsp PEPPER
  • 1 LEMON or 3 Tbs LEMON JUICE
  • 1/4 cup WHITE WINE
  • Optional: PARSLEY, to garnish

Start off by putting a pot of water on to boil. Once the water comes to a boil, add the pasta and cook according to the directions on the box (about 10 minutes). 

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and then add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the butter is melted and the oil is hot, saute the onion and garlic until the onion starts to get translucent. Add the red pepper, salt, and pepper.


Next, add the shrimp, wine, and lemon juice.


Stir everything together and bring the contents to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink.


Add the cooked pasta and toss the it in the sauce!


Serve and garnish with chopped parsley!


Yum!
