Shrimp Scampi

Classic shrimp scampi — built simple, built right. Fresh shrimp tossed in a buttery garlic-lemon sauce and finished with Seas The Day Blend for a clean, savory finish. A timeless dish made for the ones who carried grace in every small moment.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp (16/20 count), peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1/2 fresh lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1–2 tsp Seas The Day Blend
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Season the Shrimp: Pat shrimp dry and season lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Seas The Day Blend .
  2. Build the Base: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil.
  3. Cook the Garlic: Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant—do not brown.
  4. Cook the Shrimp: Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. Deglaze: Add wine (or broth) to the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom.
  6. Build the Sauce: Add lemon juice, red pepper flakes (if using), and another light sprinkle of Seas The Day Blend . Simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly reduced.
  7. Bring It Together: Return shrimp to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
  8. Finish: Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley.
  9. Serve: Plate immediately and finish with lemon wedges on the side.

Chef Paddy’s Tips

  • Move fast: Shrimp cook quickly—stay on the pan.
  • Layer the flavor: Season once before cooking and once in the sauce for depth.
  • Don’t over-reduce: Keep the sauce light and spoonable.
  • Use real wine if you can: It adds a clean lift that pairs perfectly with Seas The Day Blend .
  • Finish fresh: Parsley and lemon at the end keep everything bright and balanced.
