I think this is the first Shrimp recipe on Budget Savvy Diva in 725 plus recipes. And it’s the ultimate Italian dish Shrimp Scampi
I am not super comfortable working with shrimp or fish in general ( I think I have seen too much Hell’s Kitchen and Chef Ramsey screaming “The Fish is RAW” )But I thought this is the start of a new year and I should expand my recipes a bit AND I am glad I did 🙂
This shrimp scampi recipe is a HUGE winner – my whole family ate it up in one sitting
OH and it was REALLY simple to make – you are basically baking the shrimp in a butter sauce
Yes.
A BUTTER SAUCE
How can something taste bad when you are using a butter sauce ….. The answer – it can’t
You can see there is not much to this easy shrimp scampi recipe – but that is why it is SO good – it is simple flavors.
If you did not know my dad usually sets up the ingredient picture – I snapped a picture of his doing the Scampi ingredient step up.
Now you can serve the dish with pasta ( like I did ) or something else ( maybe rice?)
This dish itself is enough for 4 people – you can easily increase the serving amount – we used 1/2 pound of jumbo shrimp but you can totally double this recipe to a pound
You create a butter sauce add the uncooked shrimp – fold everything together and pour into a casserole dish and bake
During the baking time you can cook the pasta 🙂
Now let’s at the finished shrimp scampi pictures 🙂 But first big thanks for my dad holding the fork 😉
Don’t you just want to take a bite 🙂 The pasta is lightly coated in the butter sauce the shrimp was cooked in — all the flavors are harmonious
One more picture to get you hungry 🙂
Love You Guys!

I am looking forward to making this. Thanks for the recipe! One question, though. Why do you want to keep the tails on the shrimp? I always take them off so it an be eaten easily.

It was simply for the photo 🙂
