Description

This is a super fast and super yummy shrimp, tomato and mushroom scampi with lemon and a dash of cream. It’ll be a staple for any-night dinners at home.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (16 Oz. Size) Linguine Pasta
  • 1 pound Peeled And Deveined Shrimp, Rinsed (if Frozen, Thaw In A Colander By Running Cold Water Over The Shrimp)
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 package (8 Oz. Size) Sliced Mushrooms
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoons Paprika
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 head Garlic, Cloves Separated, Peeled And Chopped In Half
  • ½ teaspoons Crushed Garlic (mine Is From A Jar) For Extra Garlic Flavor
  • 1 package (12 Oz. Size) Cherry Tomatoes, Rinsed
  • 4 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
  • 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
  • 1 bunch Chopped Fresh Chives

Preparation

For the pasta:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add plenty of salt once it boils. Add pasta and give it a mix. Cook for about 8 minutes or according to your package instructions for al dente. Don’t overcook the pasta because it will cook more later when combined with the shrimp mixture. Plus, no one likes mushy pasta. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside until ready to combine into the shrimp scampi mixture.

For the scampi:
In a large non-stick pan, mix shrimp and half of the olive oil on medium heat. Once the shrimp turn barely pink, mix in mushrooms, salt, pepper and paprika. After all the liquid has evaporated (about 5 minutes later) add butter and all of the garlic. Cook for 2 minutes on high heat, mixing occasionally. Add tomatoes and saute for another minute. Turn burner to medium-low and mix in heavy cream, lemon juice, pasta and remaining half of the olive oil. Turn off burner and mix in chives. Serve and enjoy! Add some extra salt to your own dish if you feel like it would bring out the flavors even more and maybe even some crushed red chili flakes for a little kick.
