Ingredients Used to Make Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi Recipe

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 4 tablespoons of butter
• 4 cloves of garlic (minced)
• 1/2 cup of white wine (or chicken broth)
• 1/4 cup of lemon juice

How to Make Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi Recipe

Let’s get cooking!

1. Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. This step helps to enhance the shrimp’s natural flavor.
2. Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
4. Add the Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Combine Everything: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss them in the sauce until they are well coated. Sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes if you’re using them. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
6. Finish and Serve: Stir in the chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Give everything a good toss to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated. Serve the shrimp scampi over cooked pasta if desired.

And there you have it – a Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi Recipe that’s simple, delicious, and perfect for any night of the week. This dish is sure to impress your family and friends. Trust me, you’re going to love every bite. 😉
