Ingredients
For the Scampi Sauce
- 1/3 cup of butter
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ¼ cup sherry wine
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- ¾ cup minced parsley
For the Shrimp
- 1 lb raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
To Serve
- 2 cups hot cooked rice
Instructions
-
Melt the butter: In a shallow pan, melt the butter over low heat. 🧈
-
Create the sauce: Add the crushed garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, sherry wine, sugar, dill, and parsley. Mix everything well until combined.
-
Add the shrimp: Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the pan, then spoon the sauce over them generously.
🔥 Broil the shrimp at low heat for about 8 minutes, or until they're pink and opaque. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking!
-
Let it rest: Once broiled, remove the pan from heat and let it stand for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Serve it up: Spoon the shrimp and sauce over the hot cooked rice. Finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
🍽️ For an extra touch, add a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little kick!
Tips for Success
-
Fresh vs. Frozen Shrimp: Fresh shrimp will yield the best flavor, but frozen shrimp works perfectly too. Just ensure it's thawed before cooking!
-
Wine Substitute: If you don’t have sherry on hand, a splash of white wine or chicken broth can do the trick.
-
Herb Variations: Feel free to experiment with herbs! Basil or cilantro can give a different yet delightful twist.
Pairings
- Wine: A chilled white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc complements the flavors beautifully. 🍷
- Sides: Consider serving with a crisp green salad or garlic bread to round out your meal.
