Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi
Sautéed succulent shrimp tossed in a vibrant garlic-ghee sauce with whole wheat pasta and a bright squeeze of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz shrimp
1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti
1 tbsp ghee
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water before draining.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil and ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the ghee is melted and shimmering.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then remove the shrimp and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the remaining fat in the pan, sautéing for 30-60 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and reserved pasta water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the shrimp to the skillet along with the cooked pasta and fresh parsley, tossing everything together for 1 minute until the sauce coats the noodles evenly.
