What can I use instead of white wine in shrimp scampi?
If you do not want to use white wine you can substitute with chicken stock and lemon to give this dish the flavor that wine does. Dry white wine gives it the sweet acidity that builds an incredible amount of flavor.
Why is my shrimp scampi dry?
Shrimp can be susceptible to getting dry when overcooked. A trick is to dip them a quickly in some salt water which helps them to preserve some moisture.
Why is my shrimp scampi so oily?
The butter with the white wine in the sauce with most dishes can separate and cause oily or greasiness. A tip is to stir a teaspoon of cornstarch in the sauce before adding butter to keep the creaminess of the sauce. This cornstarch will also thicken your sauce if its to thin.
What makes shrimp taste better?
All citrus juices such as lemon or lime, as well as garlic and herbs. These are the ingredients that will always compliment seafood. Simple seasoning such as salt and pepper and paprika will balance out the flavors and always go well with seafood to.
