Famous Shrimp Scampi (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
02 -
2 tablespoons minced garlic
03 -
1 lb shrimp, deveined, no shells
04 -
½ cup Parmesan, shredded
05 -
1 teaspoon Italian herb mix
06 -
½ cup softened butter
07 -
Juice from half a lemon
08 -
1 ½ cups of a good white wine (Chardonnay is great)
09 -
1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
# Instructions:
01 -
Warm up a skillet on medium-high heat with some olive oil. Toss in your shrimp and cook till they turn pink and firm. Remove and keep them aside once done.
02 -
Lower the heat to medium and throw in the garlic. Let it cook for a couple of minutes. Keep stirring and make sure it doesn't burn, or it'll taste bitter.
03 -
Turn up the heat and pour in the wine with the lemon juice. Let it simmer and bubble until it reduces by about half.
04 -
Once the wine has cooked down, sprinkle in the Italian herb seasoning.
05 -
Turn the heat to low and slowly mix in the butter. Stir gently so it doesn't separate while melting.
06 -
Toss the shrimp back into the skillet, sprinkle with parsley, and season with a touch of salt and pepper. Stir it up so everything gets coated in that sauce.
07 -
Just before you serve, sprinkle the Parmesan over the shrimp for a final touch.
