Bird's Easy Shrimp Scampi

This is a very simple and versatile recipe. I've made this using deep sea scallops and also b/s chicken breasts (cut into bite sized cubes). I have also varied the recipe by tossing with about 2 Tbsp of seasoned breadcrumbs for a lightly breaded scampi. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired. Serve over Simple Spaghetti Dish, pasta, or even rice such as 2bleu's Lemony Rice With Peas (Risi E Bisi) for a wonderful presentation. If you use lite butter or substitute, and include a side salad, this makes a wonderful Lite-Bleu dish.
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/4 cup white wine
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs (optional)
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges (for garnish) (optional)
Directions
1
Dry shrimp on a layer of paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place shrimp in a bowl and toss with paprika. Set aside.2
Heat oil and butter in a large saute pan over med-high heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.3
Add wine, salt and pepper and reduce by half. Add shrimp and cook on one side about 2-3 minutes to sear. Do not shake the pan at this point and it's important not to overcrowd the shrimp to sear and caramelize properly.4
After one side is seared, begin to shake the pan and toss shrimp to continue cooking another minute or two. Sprinkle with parsley (and also the optional seasoned bread crumbs if using) and saute'/toss one more minute.5
Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.

I've graduated this from 3 to 4 stars (mostly because the garlic made this work) but even though we adore shrimp we weren't raving about it. I think it's a pure and simple case of being spoilt rotten by great Zaar recipes... this one is nice enough but lacks the wow factor. That said, it was nice enough, it was easy to make and the wine,paprika and garlic were very welcome additions that harmonised the favours togeher. Please see my Rating System: 4 lovely stars for a recipe that for us at least, was good but not in any way spectacular. It's excellent to have had a go and to have tried it though. Other reviewers obviously found this far better, and personal taste is everything so if you are considering this recipe then I recommend that you give it a go and decide for yourself. Thanks !

Super yummy! I used chicken broth in place of the wine and served over noodles. I cut the butter to 3 T. Everyone loved it! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! :D

This was a great easy way for a delicious Scampi Recipe! Did not change a thing but am willing to try chicken next time because I think it would be great also. Thanks 2Bleu : )

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but I enjoyed this. My hubby however really liked it. I did add a bit extra garlic and paprika
