SHRIMP SCAMPI | An Easy 10-Minute Dinner Recipe!

It’s hard to beat a classic shrimp scampi. Jumbo shrimp are sautéed in the most fragrant garlic butter sauce for a simple yet impressive dinner!
I love shrimp as it cooks remarkably fast, it’s budget-friendly, and it’s protein-packed. That makes it a weeknight dinner winner. I have many creative and flavorful shrimp recipes on my website, but shrimp scampi is a classic!
Shrimp scampi is prepped, cooked, and done in about 10 minutes. And I love that it fills your kitchen with a fresh, lemony aroma and looks stunning served on a platter (aka it’s a perfect dinner party recipe). So the next time you want to get cooking with shrimp, keep this easy shrimp scampi recipe in your back pocket.

Buenos días hermosa eso se ve delicioso 😋 lo preparé bendiciones

[@TheRock-xj7hs]

Looking forward to your recipe. I was told a long time ago you shouldn’t cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink on its own. Well done thank you.

[@Downshiftology]

For the wine - it's personal preference! 🙂

[@motled]

Congratulations on the new place and gorgeous kitchen! Let me know if you ever move down to San Diego; so I can invite you over. Love the 10-minute recipes, as always. Thank you Lisa! ♥

[@tracivanallen1639]

Thankyou😊

[@lisashort6902]

Hi Lisa! Love what you’re doing and really enjoy your videos! Excellent! Quick question: I noticed your Boos cutting board- is that the walnut? How large is it? It looks great and I need a new larger one. Do you like it?

[@n.e.christopoulou2281]

Hi! I have tried your recipe with mashed cauliflower and we all enjoyed it😊 I wonder wether celeriac can also be an option instead of cauliflower? Thanks

[@mirzasanchez7635]

Congratulación

[@debbiezullo7056]

Lisa I’ve heard you say that you sneak in vegetables. That makes people think the vegetables are not good. I remember my son when he was in second grade he said mom why do the kids all say oh I don’t like vegetables he goes. I love vegetables but I think your parents go oh I don’t know if you’ll like this or not and the kid grows up hating vegetables, just a thought. Congratulations on your new kitchen.❤

[@user-pc9qb1wf9w]

I know from the IG stories you were worried about the lighting, but I wanted to say you look great!

[@Downshiftology]

Oh, thank you!

[@donnagoldthorpe1590]

Sounds delectable! How about serving with brocolli? Broccoli is also good with lemon & garlic.

[@Downshiftology]

Broccoli is a great side dish to pair with scampi 🙂

[@Anita-wh4vr]

Thank you 😊 Missing your videos 😉

[@Downshiftology]

More to come!! Hope you enjoy this new shrimp scampi 😊

[@nadinekocum901]

This looks so delicious! I would love to know how you are able to make Zoodles from a zucchini using the spiralover like that. I try to do it on mine and the zucchini just falls right off of the spiralizer. Any tips you can advise would be greatly appreciated.

[@Downshiftology]

You can watch my video and more tips here: downshiftology.com/recipes/how-to-make-and-cook-zucchini-noodles-the-most-popular-methods/

[@thamhong4386]

I always order this now I know how to make it, mashed potatoes is my choice . Thanks. Oh when ever you have a kitchen warming just let me ok just me only,hahaha

[@Downshiftology]

It's so easy to make at home! Hope you enjoy 🙂

[@mamaandharry4573]

If not using white what liquid alternative would you recommend ? Would water be too diluting?

[@Downshiftology]

I suggest using chicken broth!

[@Nina_DP]

New digs are looking good, Lisa! But mostly commenting to say: leftover shrimp? Please explain. 😉

[@dawnbergeron8036]

Do you have a clean plastic free kosher salt you recommend? I had purchased Real Brand Kosher salt but it is not pure white like others, Just curious if you have some salt brand recommendations?

[@Whip-It_2014]

Hi can you show off a few ways to use black lentils?

[@marsack7]

Looking for a recipe for shrimp that is easy and tasty. What could i use instead of wine?

[@Downshiftology]

You can use chicken broth instead!

[@kathytaylor8228]

No alcohol here. What can I use instead? Stock? Vinegar?

[@louisegorski4299]

Just watched and wonderful! I noticed you don’t devein the shrimp. I heard you don’t have to but I always have. Can you give reason why you don’t? Thanks so much!

[@Downshiftology]

The shrimp was already deveined. ;)

[@roselillytulip]

Instead of wine can I use vegetable stock?

[@amalia4519]

Of course you can 😊

[@Downshiftology]

Yes, that's fine!

[@mindidawn]

Just so happens we have a pound of jumbo shrimp and zucchini. I had some dental work this week and teeth need a rest from meat for a few days. This will be perfect for tomorrow, but will add a baguette and salad. Would love to know where you got the plate and bowl you served up the shrimp dishes.

[@Downshiftology]

Can't wait for you to try this! 🤗

[@deannapeters211]

What can you replace the wine with, if anything?

[@Downshiftology]

You can use chicken broth instead!

[@conniehinojosa2201]
