Ingredients

Scale

For the Shrimp Scampi:

  • 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Garlic Bread:

  • 4 thick slices of French or Italian bread
  • Garlic butter (made by mixing softened butter with minced garlic and parsley)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Bread: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread garlic butter on each slice of bread and arrange them on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden and toasted. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet in a single layer. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter and the white wine (or chicken broth). Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, red pepper flakes (if using), and the remaining butter. Mix until smooth.
  4. Combine and Serve: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and stir gently.
