How To Make Shrimp Scampi Using ALL Of The Shrimp

This Shrimp Scampi Recipe was Shockingly good and It really has a lot to do with the way we used the peels and heads to extract the full flavor from the shrimp itself.
Shrimp Scampi Recipe:
24 shrimp peeled and de headed
1 pound pasta of choice (0.45 kg pasta)
5-7 large cloves of garlic
2 large shallots
1 Fresno chili (or 1/2 tbsp chili flakes)
1/3 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 1/2 cups dry white wine reduced to 3/4 cup (350 ml reduced to 177 ml)
1/2 cup water (118 ml)
4 tbsp olive oil
6 tbsp unsalted butter (85 grams)
1 lemon zested and juiced
Salt and pepper to taste

Not only has my cooking improved considerably, but my pleasure of cooking has returned. The joy of cooking incarnated! My career was in music, film score and albums. Music is all about timing, when to bring in and when to take out this instrument and that motif. Sonny cooks like the finest of composers and musicians.

[@maxpower4584]

His level of enthusiasm and excitement is so much fun to watch. He’s a great cook hands down. I love how he tells people to try things and just get out there and experiment. 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@BigLargeExtraDel]

Genuinely enjoy watching this man cook more than any other chef. Such a nice energy

[@BillBraskyy]

Hear, hear I stopped watching cooking videos a long time ago and this is really the only cooking channels I actively watch now bc all the other channels and personalities are just copies of each other. Plus he seems like a legit nice guy. Oh, I lied, I also watch Max from Tasting History. He's another food/Bev channel that I think is really neat and entertaining. Oh, and Chef John 🤙🏻

[@tracydee4681]

Between Sonny, Chef John, and Jean Pierre, I have learned more in a year than I have in my entire life! ANY chef that shares what they’ve sweated and bled to learn over decades, is an awesome soul in my book. Keep it up Sonny, you’re hilarious, dude!!

[@franksantos3418]

My parents were both executive chefs. I worked with 300 premier chefs selling very high end steaks. So I know what I’m talking about. This guy should have his own show. Because he can explain complicated things well and keep it simple.

Never comment on anything but when Sonny asks, here we are! You are a such a gift dude you have no idea, this video is a great example of your ability to educate and entertain everytime whilst always genuinely wanting to equip the masses with the skills you worked so hard to master. First class

[@pegparrish3512]

This was truly one of the best cooking videos I have ever seen on KZbin! Teaching techniques as you quickly move through the dish and coaxing flavor from items that most people throw away is brilliant! My first visit to your channel and definitely not my last! Well done, dude! 😘

[@Berkana]

Sonny, you should look into the etymology of this dish. In Italian, "scampi" is a type of crustacean that is like a small lobster or an ocean crayfish or a langoustine. It is not the name of a pasta dish. Italian-Americans didn't have access to this kind of crustacean in the US, so they made a dish roughly equivalent to the scampi pasta they made in Italy, but using shrimp instead of scampi. But in order for people who were familiar with the dish from the old country to recognize it, they called it pasta with shrimp scampi, meaning they were using shrimp instead of scampi for this pasta dish. If you have access to langoustines, crayfish, or some other similar small lobster, it may be worth trying this recipe with those instead of shrimp to see if it is any better using something more similar to what would have been originally used.

[@EM-hm4tv]

My grandma would put the shrimp shells and head into the blender, add some water and blend it. She would strain it and then squeeze with her hands the shells to get the rest of the juice out of them. Nothing was wasted😊. Thank you for bringing back the memories!

[@pedinurse1]

i boil the shells for 20 minutes and use that liquid for the sauce, makes a big difference

[@bronx26time]

I made this last night and it was incredible! I highly suggest everyone tries it!!!

[@VintageFLA]

I made this but used sautéed summer squash for pasta because some of the guests were doing keto. It came out FANTASTIC. Used heirloom grape sized tomatoes to blister. People were very happy.

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Made this meal tonight. . . . . . FANTASTIC ! ! The wife absolutely loved it also. I could hardly contain myself from denting the refrigerator. But, my wife said if I did, she was going to buy the big $4,000 model she had her eye on. Yea, I didn’t !

The knowledge this guy brings is insane!!! Definitely making this soon 🤙 & the fridge bit is seriously the best 🤣

[@fheering]

This recipe is insanely good looking and delicious looking. My indonesian grandma used to use shrimp heads in a similar way, to make this beautiful orange umami potion. We’d have it with white rice, cooked eggs and bell peppers. Just remembering it makes me happily emotional. And hungry. Thanks, chef!

[@debbiwood4809]

I will make this!! Thanks Sonny.

[@Berkana]

Sonny, there's a trick for shelling and de-veining the shrimp in a simpler motion: use small scissors, stick the lower prong into the hole where the vein is, and snip along the back of the shrimp. This snips through the shell and exposes the vein in one go. Most small scissors with pointy tips work for this, but if you want an optimized tool, there are shrimp scissors you can buy that are slightly curved that do this task better.

[@DAPLANExDAPLANE]

This one is definitely going on the give-it-a-go list. And with Good Friday just around the corner a perfect dish to put on the table for the family to enjoy. You are an absolute champion. Love your channel and the inspiration you provide for a rookie cook like me to expand my culinary horizons.

Man… you’re just killin it. I’m so glad you’re seemingly getting all the success you deserve. These days, I check your channel before I go to the grocery store, and I study the videos. My family has a great scampi recipe, but the shell rue, the parsley at the last possible second- all awesome tips where now that family recipe is innovated forever. **For the viewers- dry vermouth adds another layer of flavor if you want to go beyond the white wine** Keep it up Sonny! We’re rooting for you!
