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.

How To

Cook the pasta and set aside, as well as a cup of the water used in this pasta.

Obtain the best large Shrimps and clean and get the pan ready to sauté the shrimp.

Sauté the shrimp in some butter and olive oil. Then add the salt and pepper to taste. Add the garlic and the white wine to this dish which is been sautéed on a medium heat until the shrimp is cooked. Stirring now and again.

Once the shrimp is cooked add the pasta and the other 1/4 of a cup of water that was placed aside. Stirring altogether then adding the lemon and more butter, stirring constantly.

Stir until the sauce is thickened and add more water if needed. It depends how you like your sauce.

Shred and keep some basil leaves for decoration. Sprinkle some basil over the dish stirring in. Plate the shrimp and pasta with a sprinkling of lemon zest on top with basil. Enjoy and eat with some long vegetables, such as asparagus and green beans as they compliment the dish and take away that sweetness of the sauce.
