Famous Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi

Make everyone’s favorite dish right at home – it’s budget-friendly and it looks so fancy without any of the hard work!
It’s Friday night. I have sweats on and a How to Get Away with Murder happening right now. With Butters by my side, of course.

Postmates is on its way, but I really should have just made this instead.

I promise – it’s not as hard as it looks. It’s the exact opposite really.

Just look at that pool of butter and that crusty bread. If that’s not a seller, then I don’t know what is.

Screw it. I’m canceling Postmates. It’s a shrimp scampi night for sure.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups white wine
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Directions:

1. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, to taste.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes; set aside.
3. Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in white wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in basil, oregano, rosemary and thyme.
4. Stir in butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, until melted and smooth.
5. Sir in shrimp and parsley; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan, if desired.
