Shrimp Scampi Recipe (2024)

In this post I am sharing how to make Shrimp Scampi Recipe in a garlic butter sauce.

Bucatini! What does that have to do with shrimp scampi? Nothing, it’s just the pasta I used to serve this dish. If you’ve never had bucatini, I consider it a “fun” pasta. It’s like a fat spaghetti strand with a hole down the center. See it??

Depending on the sauce you’re using, the flavors get inside the pasta too, making for a flavorful pasta dish. It’s a unique pasta eating experience. Of course you can use the pasta of your choice. You can also just serve the shrimp itself as an appetizer. Have some crusty bread on hand for dipping!

I love seafood! Shrimp scampi is a quick and easy way to prepare shrimp. The sauce is a garlic, lemony butter sauce and it’s delicious. Allergic to seafood? That’s a shame. Try it with cubed chicken breast instead.

What is Shrimp Scampi Made Of?

Ingredients

• 1 lb Shrimp, peeled, deveined & tails removed
• Salt/Pepper, to taste
• Olive Oil
• Garlic Cloves, minced
• Dried Minced Onion
• 1.5 c White Wine (I used Chardonnay)
• The Juice of 1 Lemon
• Italian Seasoning
• Butter, softened
• Fresh Chopped Parsley
• Bucatini Pasta, cooked (or pasta of choice)

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil.

Season shrimp with salt & pepper. Toss into skillet and cook about 2 minutes, until no longer translucent. Remove shrimp and set aside.

Add garlic and minced onion. Sauté for 1 minute. You do not want the garlic to brown.

Add wine to the skillet and whisk to deglaze pan. Allow the wine to cook and reduce by half. This will take 4-5 minutes.

Add lemon juice, Italian seasoning and butter. Whisk to incorporate all ingredients together. Lower temperature on stove top to medium low to prevent the butter from separating. Add fresh chopped parsley.

Return shrimp to sauce and allow to simmer for 1 minute.

What Can I Use to Substitute White Wine in Shrimp Scampi?

If you prefer not to use wine in your shrimp scampi recipe, use chicken stock in place of the wine.

Toss shrimp and sauce together with cooked pasta and serve.
