S is for Shrimp Scampi

Will the real shrimp scampi please stand up?

EDIT: I said "Langostino" in the video, but just learned Langoustine is the actual translation for "Scampi." Apologies for the mix up.

I’m not sure who first coined the phrase “Shrimp Scampi,” but they probably didn’t speak Italian (or English). Nevertheless, it has become a super popular and delicious dish because it is so easy to cook and requires a couple basic ingredients. To be honest, I prefer the simpler, classically Americano version with just shrimp, but it was fun seeing what a dish that was 100% true to the name “Shrimp Scampi” would taste like. And while I was already eating a dish with multiple types of seafood, I figured why not just add some caviar too.

You can make this with or without the langostino and caviar and it will be a delicious and easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients:
2 Servings of Pasta
¼ c Butter
4 Cloves Garlic
Crushed Red Pepper (To Taste)
½ c White Wine
8-10 Shrimp
8-10 Langoustine Tails
Chopped Parsley
Lemon Juice
Caviar (Optional)

Recipe:
-After starting to boil your pasta, melt ¼ c of Butter on low, then add 4 Cloves of Garlic and crushed red pepper.
-As soon as you can smell the garlic, add ½ c white wine to stop the cooking process and let that simmer for 2-3 minutes.
-Add your shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes before flipping and cooking for another minute. If you’re langoustine tails aren’t pre-cooked, add them with the shrimp here too.
-If you’re langoustine tails are pre-cooked and frozen, then add them when the shrimp are almost done.
-Add the al dente pasta to the pan with the meat, and toss vigorously with the parsley and a splash of leftover pasta water.
-Garnish with some fresh squeezed lemon juice and optional caviar… if you’re feeling fancy.

Will the REAL shrimp scampi please stand up? 

In Italy, if you just order scampi, you'll just get langostino in this same garlic butter sauce that people in the English speaking world now call a scampi sauce.

Will the real Shrimp Scampi please stand up? Please stand up.

[cogspace]

Olive Garden has a “chicken scampi” and it infuriates me and I’m glad someone is finally talking about this!

[DK-ersy]

I liked that “imitating” joke with the Slim Shady song, top tier 👌🏼👌🏼

[Hedonist_Gone]

Scampi in Britain is very bloody different.

[Qsie]

i always find it funny chai tea means "tea tea"

[badlydrawnfox]

As a Brit, I was expecting something breaded and fried 😂

Climbing the charts with subscribers just like I knew you would when I commented a few months ago, Trigg. SO proud to see your inevitable progression, you are a unique talent and have so much value to share with the world. So happy for you, so excited for what’s to come. Sending love and blessings from Ireland ❤

Made this minus the caviar plus some asparagus chunks and green chile, was fantastic! Thanks for the vid

Kudos for the "cheese" quesadilla correction. When I hear people say that I wanna rip my ears off.

[zezzy]

The current corrected translation is shrimp with prawns. The one I saw said tiger prawns but in the US they could use craw dads and gulf jumbo shrimp and get WAY closer to the OG recipe especially here in Texas.

[crystalm]

Langostino’s are GOOD!!! If you can find them - get them - or don’t because regular shrimp will suck forever after!

[mikeb.]

When you think shrimp are almost done cooking, you've already cooked them too far. I swear they go from 70% to 110% in about 5 seconds.

[ВасилийБлаженов-же]

So there's two recipes in one video: one without fancy ingridients for everyday cooking and one that is based on top of the first to be a bit more fancy!

Such a great concept, I wish a lot more people do that!

As always, my favourite Italian delivers another banger

[jakobvanklinken]

That was like a headtrip to listen to!

[veridico]

Langostine is similar to what americans call a crawfish. Where is stay, we can get scampi or langostines in abundance, it's amazing.

[crazyitalianguy]

"The real shrimp scampi" and you put the real slim shady in the background.

I love your channel and this series.

[HnyElf]

I knew this because I'm English, you can get Langoustines at the fish and chip shop. Not with pasta though haha
