Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 garlic cloves, pressed or grated
2 lemons, zested and juiced
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound medium shrimp (21 to 25), peeled, deveined and butterflied (reserve shells)
1/4 onion
3/4 pound thin linguini
2 tablespoons butter
1 small bunch parsley, leaves chopped

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the garlic, zest and juice of 1 lemon, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, to taste, and the shrimp. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile make a quick shrimp stock: In a small pot, over medium heat, add the shrimp shells and onion. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain into a bowl and discard the shells and the onion.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and add a generous amount of salt. Add the linguini and cook until just tender, 2 minutes less than instructed on the package. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of cooking water.
  • Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and start to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan to a plate and add the remaining marinade. Let cook a few minutes then add about 1 cup of shrimp stock and about 1/2 cup pasta water. Continue to cook until sauce reduces by half. Add the zest and juice of the remaining lemon, the butter and the parsley and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. Add in the shrimp and pasta and toss to combine with the sauce. Turn out into a serving bowl and serve immediately.

GARLICKY LEMONY SHRIMP SCAMPI



Garlicky Lemony Shrimp Scampi image

An Italian-American classic, these garlicky and wine-bathed beauties can be prepared quickly in your kitchen. Many cooks serve them over pasta or with a side of crusty bread, and either would make a great meal. Don't skimp on the shrimp size: use at least 21 to 25 (shrimp per pound [454 g]) or even jumbos (10 to 15 shrimp per pound [454 g]) because small shrimp cook too fast and don't have that plump, crisp texture. The key to this dish is to get that pan smoking hot before you start and to work fast. Mise en place is important, so have all your items prepped to keep up with the speed of the heat.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup (120 ml) dry white wine or chicken stock
Heavy pinch of Maldon sea salt
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds (910 g) large or extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons (8 g) chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. You want the pan hot but not smoking hot; you can add a few drops of water to see if they sear and evaporate immediately. Swirl in the butter and olive oil until the butter melts and the pan smokes lightly. Toss in the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Carefully pour in the wine and cook, swirling, until reduced by half, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Season with salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper.
  • Add the shrimp, constantly tossing until they just turn from translucent to slightly opaque or pink, 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the size. Add the lemon juice and parsley. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.

LEMONY SHRIMP SCAMPI



Lemony Shrimp Scampi image

Easy and elegant, this dish is a real catch. The use of the word "scampi" to mean a garlicky, buttery preparation for shrimp is more Italian-American than Italian; it's thought to have first appeared on a menu in 1950s New Jersey.
