Shrimp Scampi Seafood Dinner Dishes

Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp, (454g) peeled and deveined
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, (2g)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, (30ml)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, (60g, 2 ounces) divided
• 1/2 cup shallots, (67g) 1/8-inch dice
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic, (10g)
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/3 cup lemon juice, (79ml)
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/2 cup dry white wine, (120ml) chardonnay recommended
• 1/2 cup diced roma tomato, (70g) 1/4-inch dice
• 1 tablespoon minced parsley, (2g) plus more for garnish

Instructions

• Combine shrimp with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter.
• Once butter is melted add shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook until shallots are tender and garlic is fragrant but not browned, 2 minutes. 
• Add shrimp to the pan in one layer, turn heat up to medium. Cook for 2 minutes, not moving the shrimp.
• Flip shrimp over and cook until just cooked through 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl.
• Turn heat up to medium-high, add in lemon juice, zest, and wine. Bring to a boil and allow sauce to reduce by half, about 4 to 6 minutes.
• Turn heat down to low and whisk in 3 tablespoons of butter to create a light thickened and emulsified sauce.
• Add cooked shrimp, tomatoes, and parsley. Stir and cook until shrimp is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Garnish shrimp scampi with pepper and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges, crusty bread or pasta.

Substitute for white wine

Vegetable stock or broth, or even grape juice make good replacements for white wine in this dish. The grape juice will add a slight sweetness, while the stock adds a savory depth. Although, just note that it may take a little longer to reduce the sauce since alcohol has more volatile compounds which evaporate faster than water.
