Famous Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi
Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi is a delightfully buttery dish that’s filled with plump shrimp and a garlicky lemon butter sauce. It’s not heavy or overly rich either.
I think it’s a perfect summertime or special occasion meal, and if you’re not a shrimp fan, feel free to use another seafood. It will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a light & flavorful dish that’s not overly rich, you’ve come to the right place. When you make tender shrimp and pair it with a garlicky, lemony butter sauce, you get the perfect meal. The addition of fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese just sends it over the top. I’ve really been in the mood for summer to arrive, and this vibrant dish reminds me of warm, sunny days and seaside dining. Not a fan of shrimp? Don’t worry, it’s still delicious with other seafood.
