Trina’s Shrimp Scampi

This is Trina and I’s Shrimp Scampi with Linguini recipe that was featured on Paula Deen’s Love and Best Dishes Channel. Trina did more of the recipe ideas than I did, but in the end we came up with our own great version of Shrimp Scampi. Let me know what you think about her version and y’all enjoy.

 

Ingredients:

1 box linguine, cook per box directions.
2 pounds pealed and deveined shrimp
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion chopped
3-4 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 1/2 cups white wine
Juice from half a lemon
1/2 cup shrimp stock (optional)
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning®
1/2 cup softened butter
1 bunch fresh parsley chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Heat cast iron skillet and add olive oil
2. Add shrimp and cook until tender and not longer translucent. Remove Shrimp and set aside.
3. Reduce heat and add onion and cook till tender, then add garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes. Watch garlic carefully so it doesn’t burn.
4. Add white wine, lemon juice and shrimp stock. Cook until reduced by half, then add Old Bay®
5. Reduce heat to low and add butter. If pan is too hot the butter may separate.
6. Add shrimp back into the sauce, add parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Add cooked linguine and the Parmesan Cheese. Adding the Parmesan cheese to the hot linguine will help it stick to the pasta and the sauce to the pasta.
8. Toss to combine.
