- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

Season the shrimp evenly with Hunter’s Seafood Seasoning and let marinade for 30 minutes to 2 hours
While bringing pan to a medium temperature, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside
In the same skillet, add the white wine (if using) and fresh lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and stir until melted. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash of the reserved pasta water to thin it out
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

3 Tips for Cooking Shrimp Scampi

1.Use high-quality butter:Since butter is a prominent flavor in shrimp scampi, using high-quality butter will enhance the overall taste of the dish.

2.Add white wine for depth:While optional, white wine adds depth of flavor to the dish. Choose a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

3.Balance acidity with lemon juice: Lemon juice adds brightness and acidity to shrimp scampi. Adjust the amount to your taste preference, but typically 2 tablespoons is a good starting point.
