Sake Shrimp Scampi
Buttery, garlicky goodness is this shrimp scampi! with a twist: SAKE instead of white wine.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp
- 6 garlic cloves thinly sliced
- 1/2 stick butter
- juice of one leemon
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup sake
- parsley to garnish at the end
Instructions
- Begin by marinating your shrimp with olive oil, salt, pepper and 1/2 of your sliced garlic cloves for about 30 minutes.
- Next, heat a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil and cook the shrimp 1-2 minutes on each side until they become pink (at this point, remove them and you don’t want them fully cooked).
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil, the rest of your garlic, red pepper flakes and let it sauté for 1-2 minutes. Next add your butter, sake and lemon juice. Let the butter melt, your sake reduce and let those flavors come together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add your shrimp back in and toss to coat. Serve and top with parsley! #filippoberio
