Equipment
  • 1 pan
  • 1 Skillet
Ingredients
  
  • 1-2 lb fresh jumbo shrimp peeled, deveined, and tails removed
  • Olive oil
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes diced
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 lb angel hair pasta
Instructions
 
  • Start by preparing the shrimp.
    Rinse the raw shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
    Place the shrimp in a bowl with 2 tbsp milk and let them soak briefly.
    In another bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and some Parmesan cheese.
  • Dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, making sure each piece is well coated.
    Set aside on a plate.
    In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat.
    Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté until lightly golden and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Fry the shrimp.
    Add the shrimp to the skillet in batches to avoid overcrowding.
    Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until they're no longer translucent and have a nice golden crust.
    Once all the shrimp are cooked, set them aside on a plate and keep them warm.
    In the same skillet with the garlic, pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Bring the wine to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until it slightly reduces.
    Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly add 1 pint of heavy cream to the pan, stirring constantly.
    Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens.
    Add the diced tomatoes, remaining grated Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice to the sauce.
    Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In the meantime, cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions.
    Once cooked, drain and set aside.
    Finally, add the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the sauce, gently tossing to coat.
    Serve the shrimp scampi over the cooked angel hair pasta and enjoy your delicious Copycat Cheesecake Factory Shrimp Scampi.
