This Copycat Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi recipe is an easy-to-make restaurant-style seafood meal that is sure to be a hit.
Tangy, garlicky, and a bit creamy and spicy, this Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi recipe is my go-to meal when I want to spoil myself or my family.
The broth that results is so good with crusty homemade bread.You will want to soak up every last bit of it.
The trick is to cook the shrimp for just a few minutes to keep them fresh and not mushy, remove them, make the sauce (broth) and return them to the pan to heat them again a bit.
This is an absolutely wonderful meal. You can even eat them on top of freshly cooked pasta if you prefer a complete meal, but for me, bread is the only way to go!
