Shrimp Scampi
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined – tails left on
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Olive oil
- 1 small onion, sliced thinly
- (optional) red pepper flakes for heat
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ½ cup white wine
- ½ cup shrimp stock
- 2 tablespoons cold butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
- Lemon slices, for garnish
- ¼ to ½ Cups Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese to taste
- Spaghetti pasta, as an accompaniment. We prefer Barilla Gluten Free!
Directions:
- Season the shrimp thoroughly with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add enough oil to lightly coat the pan. Add the shrimp and quickly sauté until just starting to turn pink, but not cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the onions and sauté just until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook another 30 seconds. If adding red pepper flakes, add them at this time as well.
- Add the lemon juice, white wine, and stock, and reduce by 2/3, about 5 minutes.
- Add the shrimp back to the pan and swirl in the butter. Check for seasoning and adjust as necessary.
- Serve over al dente pasta. Note: If using Gluten Free pasta, be certain to keep stirring the pasta while boiling to ensure it doesn’t clump and stick together. After you drain the pasta water, we also find it best if you toss the pasta with a little olive oil to also prevent sticking.
- After plated, sprinkle with fresh grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and the fresh parsley. Garnish the plate with lemon slices and serve!

A lot of cooking shows finish with the chef plating and then eating some of his meal he prepared. With a glass of wine and possibly with a guest such as Harris Or Dave depending on who cooked Just saying it adds a certain “je n’cest quoi XOXO

Buzz, you’re absolutely correct! Our problem is we film dishes as we’re making them for company. Like the night you were at the house last when we made the Cioppino. If you watch that video, you’ll hear Harris say we slipped into the kitchen to film the last segment while everyone is sitting at the table. It’s hard to not throw off your dinner party while filming like this. I do agree though that is a missing component. Perhaps we should film our guests to get their honest response! LOL
Great video! Makes me wish I was home cooking right about now…
Thanks, Alex, that’s a very inspiring comment!
