Shrimp scampi is a dish traditionally made with shrimp in a lemon, garlic, and butter sauce - heavy on the butter. With this dish (or any dish, for that matter), you don't need tons of butter to have tons of flavor. My recipe for shrimp scampi is full of amazing lemon-garlic flavor like the traditional version, but is made much lighter by using a small amount of butter. Instead of serving it over a large plate of pasta, try serving it with a mixture of cooked vegetables, spaghetti squash, or a baked sweet potato. Ingredients: 1 lb. easy peel jumbo shrimp, shells and tails removed 1 tablespoon Smart Balance light butter 1-2 cloves garlic, minced The juice of 1 lemon Seasonings used: black pepper, paprika, chili powder, thyme, oregano Directions: 1. Season the shrimp (no exact amounts, just a few sprinkles of each of the seasonings to coat the shrimp), and mince the garlic. 2. Add the butter and garlic to a skillet, and sauté for 2 minutes over medium heat. 3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes; flip the shrimp over and cook another 4-5 minutes, or until the shrimp is opaque. 4. Cut the lemon in half, and squeeze the juice from both halves onto the shrimp, careful not to let any seeds fall into the pan. Stir to combine all the flavors, and serve immediately.
