Shrimp Scampi:

This garlicky shrimp scampi is one of my favorites! Because it is done in under 20 minutes, super easy to prep, and oh so tasty!

Ingredients you will need:

1. Shrimp of choice, I used petite wild Oregon pink shrimp that were precooked
2. Garlic
3. Olive oil
4. Ghee or butter
5. Cilantro
6. Salt + pepper
7. Onions
8. Lemon
9. Gluten free spaghetti or linguini
10. Chili flakes
11. Parmesan cheese

How to prepare the garlic sauce:

Add the olive oil and ghee to a large pan and warm through on medium heat. Once the oil is warm (not hot) add the diced onions, salt + pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes. And then add the minced garlic and cook for a minute or so. Add in the shrimp with fresh cilantro and cook a few minutes. But if you are using raw shrimp in this recipe, cook a bit longer, or until the shrimp is no longer pink.

Cooking the pasta:

Cook the pasta of choice according to package. And once the pasta is done cooking, drain the water, and add the pasta to the pan with the shrimp. Give it a nice mix and if needed add in some more olive oil to coat the pasta.

Topping the pasta:

And once everything is nice and mixed. Add more fresh cilantro on top, juice of one lemon, chili flakes, and parmesan cheese.

Garlic bread:

And what is pasta without the homemade garlic bread? Grab your favorite bread, I used sourdough, add ghee, Amore seasoning, garlic powder, salt, parmesan cheese, and add to toaster oven, and cook for 5 minutes.

Can I meal prep this ahead of time?

Yes, this dish can be meal prepped ahead of time. And the night you plan on enjoying, simply reheat in a pan with some additional olive oil until warmed through.

How do I store my leftovers?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. And enjoy within 2-3 days of prepping it.

What if I don’t like shrimp?

This dish is meant to be enjoyed with shrimp. But if shrimp is not your jam try it with clams, scallops, or mussels. And If seafood just isn’t your jam, then I would say this recipe is not one to try :).
