SIMPLE SHRIMP SCAMPI RECIPE WITHOUT WINE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If using frozen shrimp, thaw and peel leaving tails on. Add shrimp in a single layer to 13 x 9 baking dish. Prepare sauce by mixing lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano until salt crystals have dissolved. Whisk in olive oil. Pour sauce over shrimp in baking dish. Place butter slices on top of shrimp. Lightly season on top with additional salt, pepper, and oregano. You can also season with dried parsley and paprika for color if desired. Bake for 10 minutes or until shrimp are cooked - the exterior should turn pink with red tails and the flesh will be slightly opaque and a little “white” in color.

Steps:

• Whisk grated garlic, salt, and 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. Add shrimp, toss to coat, and chill, uncovered, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium and cook shrimp mixture, being careful not to let shrimp or garlic brown, until shrimp is pink but still slightly underdone, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving as much oil in pan as possible. Add sliced garlic and red pepper to skillet and cook, tossing, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine and lemon juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add butter and cook, stirring and swirling pan occasionally, until butter is melted and sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes more.
• Scrape shrimp along with any accumulated juices into skillet. Toss to coat and cook until shrimp are fully cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter, top with parsley, and serve with bread for dipping alongside.
