Zesty Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi
Sautéed succulent shrimp tossed in a vibrant garlic-butter sauce with fresh lemon and red pepper flakes, served over a bed of tender whole wheat pasta.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz shrimp
1.5 oz whole wheat pasta
1 tbsp ghee
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and ghee until shimmering.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer, searing for about 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat the noodles in the garlic butter sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
