Shrimp Appetizers - Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi

Many people argue that Red Lobster makes THE absolute best shrimp scampi recipe this side of the Atlantic, and after many shrimp scampi taste tests from various restaurants, we had to agree, and subsequently published a Red Lobster garlic shrimp scampi recipe in an earlier post.

But now many of our time-pressured, kitchen-phobic readers have written to us requesting options for an easy shrimp scampi recipe, so we did our research again and came up with this copycat recipe for Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi.

This easy shrimp scampi recipe can be accompanied by pasta if serving as a main meal instead of a shrimp appetizer.

Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi

1 cup White Wine (preferably a Chablis)
1/2 cup unsalted Butter
3 tablespoon minced Garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt & pepper, to taste
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (if desired as garnish)

Combine the butter, wine, garlic and shrimp in a pan. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 6 to 7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink. Be careful not to overcook the Shrimp. Add parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with parmesan cheese if desired. Serve.

Enjoy!
