Dd's Shrimp Scampi

It's been awhile since I've had shrimp scampi, and this looks so good!

 

SHRIMP SCAMPI

 6 oz. angel hair pasta, cooked according to package directions

1 TB olive oil

3/4 # 16-20 count shrimp, peeled and deveined

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

6 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 small shallot, finely chopped

½ c. cup dry white wine

2 TB freshly squeezed lemon juice

Pinch red pepper flakes

Pinch dried oregano

2 TB butter, cut up

1/3 c. Italian parsley, chopped

Garnish: grated Parmesan cheese

 

In a large skillet over high heat warm oil until shimmering. Generously season shrimp

with salt and pepper. Add shrimp to skillet in a single layer; cook 1 minute. Turn and

cook 1 more minute. Transfer shrimp to a bowl.  Into skillet add garlic and shallot;

cook for 1 minute. Add wine, lemon juice, pepper flakes and oregano. Simmer 3 minutes

until slightly reduced. Whisk in butter piece by piece, thoroughly incorporating each piece

before adding the next. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Return shrimp,

drained pasta and parsley and toss to combine thoroughly. Garnish with cheese as desired.
