Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi (Copycat Recipe)

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Once the shrimp is no longer translucent, remove it from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat, then add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Stir constantly to keep it from burning.

Step 4

Add the white wine and lemon juice, stirring to deglaze the pan. Scrape any bits stuck in the pan with a wooden spoon or silicon spatula.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer until the liquid reduces by half. Add the Italian seasoning once the mixture thickens.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the softened butter. Stir until silky and glossy.

Step 7

Add the shrimp back to the skillet with the sauce, followed by the parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Transfer the shrimp to serving plates and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Serve with pasta, roasted broccolini, or cheesy polenta, and enjoy!
