I made my recipe with Wild-caught Argentinian Red Shrimp from World Port Seafood. They are a branch of home food delivery from Omaha Steaks. If you’ve enjoyed their premium steaks, then you already know the quality is top-notch.
One of the challenges of being an empty nester is cooking in small quantities without wasting food. Another benefit of ordering from World Port Seafood is that their products are frozen and individually vacuum-sealed. You select only the amount of seafood you want to eat, leaving the rest safely frozen to enjoy at another meal.
Here is my Easy Lemon Shrimp Scampi with Pasta Recipe. It took only about 20 minutes to have this delicious dish on the table, which makes it the perfect dish for your busiest nights.
Ingredients to Make Lemon Shrimp Scampi with Pasta Recipe:
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 lb of shrimp (thawed)
- 1 lemon, freshly squeezed and 1/2 lemon thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons of dry white wine (can substitute water)
- 8 oz of pasta (angel hair or any pasta you have on hand)
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- Parsley for garnish (optional)
How to Make the Garlic Shrimp Scampi Recipe:
- In a large pot of boiling water cook pasta according to directions. I add a little olive oil to the pot to prevent sticking.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add olive oil, shrimp and dry white wine. Cook, stirring occasionally until the shrimp turns pink. About 2-4 minutes. Wild-caught Argentinian Red Shrimp cook in about half the time of traditional shrimp.
- Stir in lemon juice and bring it to a simmer.
- Drain pasta and toss with the shrimp mixture. Add lemon wedges. Season to taste with Kosher salt and pepper. Garnish with red pepper flakes and parsley. Serve immediately.
Hand-selected, flash-frozen fresh seafood from World Port Seafood locks in the freshest flavor and then is delivered straight to your door. It allows year-round availability of your favorite seafood. If you compare this to the fish for sale in the supermarket that is thawing out while in the display case, you can appreciate the difference.
