Gluten-Free Shrimp Scampi Recipe
Craving a classic Italian dish but need to keep it gluten-free? This delicious and easy Gluten-Free Shrimp Scampi recipe delivers all the garlicky, buttery goodness you expect, without the gluten! Shrimp scampi is a quick weeknight meal, perfect served over zucchini noodles or your favorite gluten-free pasta.
Why This Recipe Works:
Traditional shrimp scampi usually relies on flour for thickening the sauce. Our version skips the flour and uses a combination of butter, white wine, garlic, and a touch of lemon juice to create a rich and flavorful sauce that clings perfectly to the shrimp. The results are so good, you won’t even miss the gluten!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Gluten-free pasta or zucchini noodles, for serving
Instructions:
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant (be careful not to burn it!).
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
- Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the parsley.
- Serve the shrimp scampi immediately over gluten-free pasta or zucchini noodles.
Tips and Variations:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- If you don’t have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the skillet, such as asparagus or zucchini.
- Garnish with extra parsley and a lemon wedge for serving.
