I share my butter shrimp scampi recipe.
[Music] all right we started off with three sticks of butter in our Skillet now I’m going to come in with my shrimp that I thaw out one bag two bags of shrimp right in there I use salted butter but if you want to use unsalted if you’re watching your sodium that’s totally fine we have our Skillet on medium high heat so these are going to cook up super quick okay all right now that our temperature got back up we’re going to start off with two bulbs of garlic right in there give that a good mix in with our shrimp o this is going to be nice and flavorful look that shrimp is already starting to turn pink this is going to happen so quick so you got to make sure to get all of those flavors in there m smells amazing now we’re going to come in with our chopped parsley you can use your fresh stuff but I like these cuz it’s already chopped for me look at that beautiful color it adds this is looking good okay give it a nice mix in with that garlic you could use minc garlic if you like but I love roasting up the garlic and just eating it whole personally and also you still get that delicious flavor onto our shrimp now I’m going to come in with my lemon and I’m actually going to go ahead and use my tongs to go ahead and squeeze the lemon juice right into our Skillet such an easy way to squeeze your lemon if you don’t have a lemon squeezer go ahead and do it to both halves just be careful you don’t want to get it on your counter delicious this is coming together beautifully go ahead and give that another mix we like to continuously mix it so that our shrimp can cook evenly we still have it on a medium heat delicious all right before these finish cooking off we’re going to grab our white wine whatever white wine you want and we are going to put 1/4 a cup in there to really help bring out the flavors of everything delicious now we got to go ahead and grab some seasonings in here we’re going to do some pepper you can season this however you like oo that wine is smelling strong we’re going to do a little bit of salt of course you can skip the salt cuz we did use salted butter but I like it and then last but not least we’re going to do some crushed red pepper and if you don’t like spice you can skip this but I like the heat okay woo and this is still on medium these are cooking up super quick I think in total these shrimps are on the skillet for less than 20 minutes look at how they’re coming together that pink color is just so beautiful make sure to stir it so that all of them cook evenly all right you guys our shrimp scampy is ready it is time to serve it up oh you could put it on some pasta or some rice but I’m just going to eat it as is oh smells incredible that wine cooked down that looks amazing

Like why did you not remove the seeds in the lemon? I wouldn't want to bite down in a seed. 🤦
Didn't look like the shrimp was thawed.
If I could eat shrimp, and used alcohol, I bet that was delicious! Happy Monday Justine! 😎🌼🍤🧈🧄🇺🇸
This looks so delicious.
Your measurements are a little off.
Those look very yummy 🎉
Sorry but that is too much fat, I am sure it can be made with much less fat not 3 sticks of butter
Looks so easy to make. Thanks Justine🍤
This comment section is very gracious
Looked like more than a 1/4 cup of wine to me!
I think you forgot to thaw the shrimp. Thawing the shrimp first would have eliminated all the extra water that was introduced. Also, you added WAY MORE than a 1/4 cup of white wine.
If you thaw shrimp first in cold water then rinse and pat dry, it will be less watery. Just a thought.
Wow that's a lot of butter and that's the biggest quarter cup of wine I've ever seen.
Were shrimp frozen? Were the cloves of garlic cooked? Way more 1/4 cup of wine. 👍👎
I bet when you learned that in Maine they didn’t use frozen shrimp
The Reisling you used is a sweet wine. Consider a Chardonnay which is more of a dry wine instead.
Oh, my! I hope everyone that thinks these mixtures are wonderful, that they make them exactly like she does with no changes! 😢
I don't usually bother people preparing recipes, but you are such a hack that I don't want people to follow this crap. Shrimp are too expensive to waste like this.
That was at least a cup of wine..not 1/4 cup 🤭
Sweetie take a cooking course or better yet buy a cookbook!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looked like you were trying to make a scampi. Never use frozen shrimp! it adds more liquid. Has to be fresh shrimp. Half the butter or less would have been better adding a small amount of heavy whipping cream to thicken the sauce. Only if you want a thicker sauce
Holy alcohol that's a lot of wine!
Wow, so many professional chefs in the comments today!!!!

Justine, keep the videos coming! Butter garlic shrimp? Count me in!!!!
Great recipe and 1/2 stick of butter will do just the same.
That looks horrible.
Rioi much butter
Not sure your measurements are dead on. I make barbecued shrimp New Orleans style and use that much butter but we also have a baguette to sop up the sauce.
This lady the worst cook on a cooking show did everything wrong
Yummy! I'm an Old Bay seasoning fanatic 😂! I love the idea of adding the cloves of garlic to eat with it👍🥰
YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING YOUR A JOKE YOUR BIGGEST MISTAKE IS YOUR OVER CROWDING THE PAN YOU ARE BASICALLY BOILING THE SHRIMP STOP DOING THESE VIDEOS
Looks yummy but concerned that you should have squeezed your lemon over a strainer to catch the seeds.😮
Thanks, but no thanks.
HaHa You put the lemon seeds in there
Learned in Maine huh?🤔 The lie detector test determined that was a lie.🤥 3 sticks of butter, frozen shrimp, overcrowded skillet, lemon seeds in the shrimp and to top it off…sweet dessert wine added to the shrimp.🤮
High Cholesterol 😮😮😮 Everbody is creative. 😂 Would Chef Ramsey eat this? No
Looks delicious! Is there a link to a written recipe I could save or print out? (I know – I’m one of those weirdos who still wants some printed recipes 😂)
All these people saying the travel to different places to learn different "dishes" but they never once mention their trip and where they learned it or who taught them. Is it a dish well known in Maine? Do they serve this at restaurants there? Did you go to Maine for fun or specifically for a culinary adventure?
That's definitely a Maine recipe" well done.😊
You needed to cook that wine much longer for the alcohol to cook off. The wine taste would be way too strong. You aren't getting the full flavor potential this way.
😢 way too much butter and you really should have washed the shrimp…😮
Looks like you're steaming the shrimp.
Man a pound of butter and lemon seeds 😢
Made this last night with jasmine rice, didn’t have wine, only dried herbs and cut recipe in half. My husband loved it.
This ones great because you really can’t unruin frozen shrimp. It’s almost as bad as buying fresh but leaving the poo vein.
That's a lot of garlic….I approve!
Too much butter
