10-Min Shrimp Scampi with Spaghetti is the easiest dinner recipe. Its made with Jumbo Shrimps which are seared and tossed in a lemon, garlic, and basil based sauce and topped over Spaghetti.
Heat 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil in a pan. Add the Shallots. Caramelize the shallots until they turn golden brown. Lightly season with Salt and Pepper.
Instead of adding minced garlic try adding grated garlic. Stir well over medium-low heat.
Once the garlic disintegrates add chopped cherry tomatoes, chilies, and let the tomatoes get roasted. Clean the pan or de-glaze the pan with about 2-3 tablespoons of white wine. Put the heat to high and let the tomatoes get completely roasted.Now add Vegetable Stock or Chicken Stock or Fish Stock. Let it reduce completely in the pan.Add chopped basil leaves and some capers and stir well. Squeeze some Lemon Juice and your Sauce is ready. Keep it aside.
Prepare the Shrimps
Lightly Season your Shrimp with salt and pepper.
Heat some olive oil in a pan. Add your shrimps. We should never over-sear our shrimp as it turns dry. Once the Shrimps have got a little golden brown color on one side, turn them over and sear the other side lightly. Once done, take it off the heat.
Prepare the Pasta
In a saucepan heat some water with a touch of salt and olive oil.
Once it comes to a boil add your pasta and cook it until al-dente. Once it is completely cooked, transfer them to a colander and drain the water.
Serve
Take a plate. Add pasta on the bottom. Top it with Shrimps. Then pour the sauce on the top. Garnish with some grated parmesan and lemon zest. Enjoy.
