Ingredients:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp scampi seasoning
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Toss them in a bowl with salt, pepper, and the scampi seasoning until evenly coated.
  2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat until the butter foams. Add shrimp in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until opaque and pink. Remove shrimp to a plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes until the liquid reduces by half.
  5. Return the seared shrimp and their juices to the skillet. Toss rapidly for 30 seconds to glaze. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest and fresh parsley.
