How to Make Scampi Saute

  1. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  3. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Add mushrooms and shallots and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  5. Stir in minced garlic and green onions; cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  6. Pour in sherry and simmer for 1 minute, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until sauce slightly thickens.
  8. Return shrimp to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the sauce.
  9. Pour scampi over cooked rice or your preferred side dish.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
