This seriously easy shrimp scampi is a perfect quick dinner recipe.  Serve over pasta or with steamed veggies.<\/p>\n

You guys.  I made shrimp scampi the other day after not making it for a long time and I just had to share this recipe with you.  Seriously,  it turned out GREAT.  I served it with pasta, because pasta, but you can definitely make this and just serve it with steamed vegetables or a salad to make it a lower carb option if that’s what you want.  But if you like shrimp, you definitely need to make this.  Soon.<\/p>\n

Here’s what you’ll need:  8 oz linguine (or you can use angel hair or spaghetti if you prefer), 2 T butter, 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1\/4 t red pepper flakes, 1\/4 c white wine (I used chardonnay), 1\/4 c freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, zest of a lemon, 2 T fresh parsley.<\/p>\n

First, cook the pasta according to the directions on the package, drain and set aside.<\/p>\n

Here’s my shrimp.  I also got it without tails because I just didn’t want to do the work of removing them myself.  Totally worth it to me.<\/p>\n

Cook until the shrimp is pink (only takes 2-3 minutes).  Stir in the wine and lemon juice.<\/p>\n

When you stir in the liquid, scrape up all the goodness from the bottom of the pan.  There is so much flavor in there.  Don’t miss it!<\/p>\n

Let me tell you about this kitchen tool.  I love this citrus press so much.  It is fast and easy and gets ALL the juice out of your lemon or lime and doesn’t let seeds get into whatever you are making.  It’s seriously a great tool.  Check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Back to the scampi.  Reduce the heat and let this simmer for 2-3 minutes.<\/p>\n

Now stir in your pasta, lemon zest and parsley.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3200\"<\/p>\n

Toss the pasta making sure to coat all of it in all the goodness happening in your pan.  I served this with lots of parmesan and some extra red pepper flakes.<\/p>\n

I seriously had forgotten how easy and really tasty this recipe is.  I hope you’ll make it!<\/p>\n
