Description

Buttery, garlicky, shrimp-y, shrimp scampi recipe is easily the best meal you can cook in 15 minutes or less. Yum! Toss that garlic-butter shrimp with pasta, or grab a fork and dig straight in.

Ingredients

Scale

4 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
¾ cup chicken stock
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 ½ pounds large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Step: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step: Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step: Stir in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
Step: Stir in the salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
Step: Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, opaque, and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step: Stir in the parsley and lemon juice before serving.

Notes

If serving over pasta, add a quarter cup of pasta cooking water to the sautéed mixture to create a richer sauce. You may substitute the chicken stock with a high-quality non-alcoholic citrus broth if desired.
