Indulge in this classic Famous Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi, featuring succulent shrimp sautéed in a rich, buttery garlic sauce. Perfectly seasoned and garnished with fresh parsley, this dish is an easy yet impressive meal that will transport your taste buds to the coast!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  • Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, but do not let it brown.
  • Add the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Prepare the Sauce: Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and fresh lemon juice. Let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Add the Finishing Touches: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp and stir until the cheese melts into the sauce. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
  • Serve: Transfer the shrimp scampi to a serving dish. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, and enjoy!

Notes

  • This shrimp scampi pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference.
