carrabba's shrimp scampi recipe

Carrabba's Shrimp Scampi Recipe

Few dishes are as quick, elegant, and satisfying as a perfectly executed shrimp scampi, and Carrabba's gives you it all!
The richness of butter and olive oil combined with shrimp is simply irresistible when prepared right.
One thing I’ve learned is to always use a high-quality white wine for the sauce—it truly enhances the entire dish.
The garlic and red pepper flakes bring a subtle kick, but they won’t overpower the delicate shrimp.
Pair this dish with freshly grated Parmesan and chopped parsley to add a finishing touch!

Ingredients
  
  • 1 lb Shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 4 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 cup White Wine
  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 2 tbsp Italian Parsley chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
 
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the shrimp, making sure they're spread out evenly in the pan.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn pink, about 2 minutes.
  • Add minced garlic to the skillet with the shrimp.
  • Stir and cook for an additional minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Be sure not to let the garlic burn, as this can create a bitter taste.
  • Pour the white wine into the skillet and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  • This will help deglaze the skillet and infuse the shrimp with flavor.
  • Add the lemon juice at this step to brighten the dish.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet.
  • Let it melt slowly, stirring continuously to create a rich sauce.
  • Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle chopped Italian parsley over the shrimp and sauce.
  • Give everything a final stir to mix the parsley evenly.
  • Serve immediately while hot.
