Easy Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi Copycat

Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 cups cooking white wine
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Season both sides of the shrimp generously with salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Carefully place the seasoned shrimp in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque, flipping them once using tongs.
  • Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and keep them warm. Into the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  • Deglaze the skillet by adding white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan using a wooden or silicone spoon.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and another teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning until the butter is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
  • Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them in the sauce.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the shrimp and finish with a garnish of grated parmesan cheese before serving hot.
