Donkey Mail's Scampi Recipe

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

1. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, until they're pink and cooked through.
4. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
5. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
6. If using white wine and lemon juice, add them to the skillet and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the liquid has almost completely reduced.
7. Add the paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet and stir to combine.
8. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss them in the sauce to coat.
9. Serve the scampi hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Tips and Variations:

• For an extra burst of flavor, add some chopped fresh parsley or dill to the sauce before serving.
• If you prefer a lighter sauce, reduce the amount of butter and wine/lemon juice.
• You can also add some diced onions or bell peppers to the skillet with the garlic for added flavor.
• For a spicy kick, add some red pepper flakes to the sauce.
