Shrimp scampi is a classic, but decadent dish typically made with lots of butter and served over high-carb pasta or white rice. This version lightens things up a bit and is quick and easy enough for a weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon ground paprika
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup crushed garlic croutons
- 3 cups frozen riced cauliflower (such as Green Giant®)
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 4 lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place shrimp in a shallow baking dish.
Step 2
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, shallot, and olive oil and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken stock, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over shrimp and sprinkle with crushed croutons.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 9 to 11 minutes; do not overcook.
Step 4
While shrimp is cooking, place riced cauliflower in a large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Serve shrimp over riced cauliflower. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
