Garlic Shrimp Scampi (Inspired by Red Lobster

Red Lobster’s shrimp dishes are well-loved for their rich flavors and delicious preparations. While the exact recipes used by the restaurant chain are proprietary, I can offer a few classic recipes inspired by Red Lobster’s famous shrimp dishes.

1. Garlic Shrimp Scampi (Inspired by Red Lobster)

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooked pasta or rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Sauté Shrimp: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Prepare Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Wine and Lemon: Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off. Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.
  4. Combine Shrimp and Sauce: Return the shrimp to the skillet, toss them in the sauce, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with warm bread for dipping.
