Lemon Shrimp Scampi with Pasta

These Argentinian shrimp are jumbo-sized with a lovely red color. They taste like lobster and are very sweet. They are low in fat, very lean, and a good source of protein. I’ve tossed them into a salad and also enjoyed them in a simple shrimp cocktail.

Ingredients for Lemon Shrimp Scampi with Pasta

ingredients for Lemon Shrimp Scampi recipe

  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin 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 Easy Lemon Garlic Shrimp Scampi with Pasta

#1. In a large pot of boiling water cook pasta according to directions. I add a little olive oil to the pot to prevent sticking.

#2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

#3. Add the garlic to the oil. Watch it carefully to avoid burning it. You may need to turn down the heat a bit and just let it soften but not burn.

#4. 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.

#5. Stir in lemon juice and bring it to a simmer. 

#6. Drain the 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. Enjoy!
