Shrimp Scampi
- 1 lb Shrimp
- 1 tbsp Pure Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp Finely Chopped Garlic
- 1 1/2 cup White Wine
- 1/2 Fresh Lemon (Juice Only)
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning Blend
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsely (Chopped Fine)
- 1 Salt and Pepper (To Taste)
- 1/2 cup Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Heat heavy bottomed skillet and add oil.
- Do not allow oil to smoke.
- Add shrimp, cook until tender and no longer translucent.
- Remove shrimp from pan and reduce heat slightly.
- Add garlic and cook 2-3 minutes.
- Be careful not to brown garlic as this will produce a slightly bitter flavor.
- When garlic is cooked, add white wine.
- Squeeze juice from lemon in pan, and reduce wine by half.
- After it is reduced, add Italian seasoning blend.
- Reduce heat to low, and slowly add butter, 1 Tbsp at a time.
- The butter should slowly melt into the sauce and create a nice creamy texture.
- If the pan is too hot the butter will separate.
- Once butter is fully incorporated, add shrimp back into sauce, add parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve with garnish of fresh cheese if desired.
- Scampi is great accompanied by fresh pasta.
