Classic Shrimp Scampi | Melissa Clark | NYT Cooking

Melissa Clark is in the studio kitchen showing us how to make shrimp scampi, an Italian American dish that brings Italian cooking techniques together with American ingredients. It’s a classic recipe that pairs shrimp with a simple sauce of garlic, white wine and butter, which goes well with a pile of pasta or with a hunk of crusty bread.

  2. “Pasta is a ritual for Italians. You can mess with anything but not the pasta. There are some rules that come with cooking pasta, rules that you never change.”
    You are absolutely never allowed to add cheese to a seafood pasta recipe.

    Preparation

    Make the recipe with us

    Step 1

    In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine or broth, salt, red pepper flakes and plenty of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Let wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.

    Step 2

    Add shrimp and sauté until they just turn pink, 2 to 4 minutes depending upon their size. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice and serve over pasta or accompanied by crusty bread.

  6. I think you’re right, and I don’t think anyone could’ve made this better recipe better than you. Delightful!

  7. Best shrimp scampi recipe!! The perfect portions of garlic, wine, and every ingredient

  9. Cook shells in wine before starting making this one. Adds a lot more flavor.

  13. Shrimp scampi is one of my very favorite recipes—I make it at least 5 times a month.
