Harissa Shrimp Scampi
Harissa Shrimp Scampi
This colorful dish is amazingly fast and flavorful. Bold harissa paste adds a great kick to the garlicky shrimp and tangy white wine and lemon sauce. Serve it over pasta or as is with plenty of crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
I recently served mine over pasta in a deep bowl. These were beautiful shrimp! You could completely remove the shells but I've found that if I leave the tails intact while cooking it helps to keep the shrimp from drying out as much. I prefer to just barely cook the shrimp so that they stay nice and juicy and plump.
Topped with some freshly grated Parmesan and cracked black pepper this Shrimp Scampi will carry you straight away to the Mediterranean.
One of the best things about this recipe is that once you have the ingredients prepped, the Scampi is done in minutes!
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Chop the shallots and parsley, mince the garlic, set out the wine, lemon, harissa paste, coconut oil and butter then get your saute' pan warming. Now you are ready to cook!
