Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • ½ cup white wine or chicken broth

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 loaf French bread
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (for garlic bread)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garlic bread)

Instructions

  1. Creating Quick Shrimp Scampi Bowls With Garlic Bread is straightforward if you follow these steps:
  2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti or linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  5. Add Shrimp: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Add Wine and Lemon: Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth), lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly reduces.
  7. Combine with Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the sauce. Cook for another minute to heat through.
  8. Prepare Garlic Bread: While the shrimp is cooking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
  9. Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both halves.
  10. Place the garlic bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  11. Divide the shrimp scampi pasta into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve alongside slices of garlic bread.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the spice level by changing the amount of red pepper flakes.
  • Use whole wheat pasta for a healthier option.
  • Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
