You’d think shrimp scampi is complicated and too fancy to make, but this recipe is actually one of the easiest I’ve ever tried and is absolutely delicious!

  • 4-6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. In a large, heated, saute pan, add butter and garlic and cook until butter melts.
  2. Add garlic and sautee for 1 minute.
  3. Add wine, lemon juice, shrimp, and salt and pepper.
  4. Cook until shrimp turns opaque or pink, occasionally stirring.
  5. Add Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
  6. You can serve this either plain or over pasta or rice.
