Garlic Shrimp Scampi with Protein Pasta
Sautéed succulent shrimp tossed with al dente protein pasta in a silky garlic and lemon-infused ghee sauce, finished with a bright pop of fresh parsley.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta
6 oz shrimp
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 tbsp ghee
3 cloves garlic
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup baby spinach
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining the noodles.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil and ghee over medium heat until the ghee is melted and shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp in a single layer, cooking for 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir for 1 minute until the leaves are just wilted.
Toss in the cooked pasta, lemon juice, and the reserved pasta water, stirring constantly to create a light, emulsified sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
