While I’ve always been a fan of the traditional Shrimp Scampi but my spice-loving family always craved a slightly spicy touch to it.

And we always felt that there should be some extra ‘buttery wine’ sauce to enjoy by the end or just a tad bit more to :

” coat the spaghetti or dip that piece of bread in that rich buttery sauce and taste the umami flavors”

So this spicy shrimp scampi happened 🙂

How to Make Spicy Shrimp Scampi:

This is by far the Easiest 15 minutes recipe that packs so many flavors. Here are the steps:

  1. Saute the shrimps in butter+olive oil mix.
  2. Make the Scampi sauce using garlic, parsley, chili paste, and dry wine.
  3. Mix the cooked shrimps and saute everything together.
  4. Transfer and serve.

So I decided to create this quick variation to the traditional dish and added:

Sambal Paste + Chili Flakes –> For the kick of spice + that gorgeous orange-gold color

Extra Amount of Dry White Wine –> for that buttery sauce in the end to devour

Tips For Making this Recipe Perfect Everytime:

I always cook the shrimp on high heat and it’s usually done within 4-5 minutes.

Don’t over-cook the shrimps as this would taste chewy and rubbery then.

You can make this dish a day or two before, just keep the sauteed shrimps and sauce separate. When you want to eat, saute everything together and serve.

Use a nice dry wine like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, and dry sparkling wines.

Always use Fresh Italian Parsley for this recipe as it tastes the best with it. If incase it’s not available, you may use Cilantro.

Serving Suggestions:

I like to serve this with a bowl of warm angel hair pasta or any plain pasta.

I even serve it with simple fried rice or dinner rolls.

I even serve it with lemon or buttery risotto or just a plain side of french green beans.
