Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Pasta
Succulent shrimp sautéed in a fragrant garlic-ghee sauce tossed with al dente brown rice pasta and bright lemon zest for a zesty, satisfying finish.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz shrimp
1.5 oz brown rice pasta
0.5 tbsp ghee
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the brown rice pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil and ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the ghee is fully melted and shimmering.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside, then add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the remaining fat in the pan, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Whisk in the lemon juice and a small splash of the starchy pasta water to create a light, emulsified sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta and the seared shrimp back into the skillet, coating everything thoroughly in the garlic butter sauce.
Garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.
