A quick and delicious Easy Shrimp Scampi with Pasta recipe perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup spaghetti cooked (or linguine)
- 1 pound large raw shrimp
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup green onion chopped
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped, fresh
- 3 Tablespoon butter
- 3 Tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon chili flakes crushed
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 large lemon
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and de-vein (if necessary) the shrimp and set aside.
- In a large frying or cast iron pan, heat the oil and butter until just boiling.
- Add the garlic and lightly sauté until the color just slightly changes.
- Pour in the white wine and bring it to a boil. Continue boiling until about half the wine has evaporated.
- Place the shrimp into the pan evenly, and add the onion, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Cook until the shrimp is bright pink/orange in color.
- Add the pasta and the parsley and mix thoroughly. Cook until the pasta is warm.
- Remove from heat and squeeze the juice from half of a lemon. Stir and enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the amount of chili flakes to your desired spice level.
- Fresh parsley can be substituted with dried parsley, though fresh is recommended for better flavor.
- Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to prevent a rubbery texture.
