What is Shrimp Scampi ?

It is quite interesting to see how a dish changes its forms and is adapted by various cultures to suit their own taste buds.

Originally , Langoustines are used in Italy to make Scampi. When the dish came to the United Sates of America Scampi (Langoustines ) were Swapped with Shrimp.

They Still kept its name . Hence, The Shrimp Scampi was born. Here we are making a one pot meal in the Instant pot so we have our Shrimp Scampi Pasta.

What kind of Pasta can I use to make this Shrimp Scampi ?

This Shrimp Scampi pasta -15 minutes recipe can be adapted in many ways . The Recipe is super delicious in its original form .

Nonetheless , We can make it Keto friendly and gluten free too. All we need to do is minus the pasta.

Add Veggies that come to your mind like zucchini , green beans, carrots , asparagus . Yum ! Also like I mentioned earlier use Gluten free pasta or eat it With a salad or Rice.

They all taste fabulous in the lemon butter sauce along with the Peperoncino used in this recipe. I have modified and tried a few versions of the Scampi . We love this one the best.

Can I use Frozen Shrimp ?

This particular recipe is made with frozen shrimp. There are a few things to remember though.

While using Frozen Shrimp you shall cook for 2 minutes instead of 1 minute.

Shrimp cooks within no time but when they are frozen the cook time shall increase as there is extra water in the Shrimp.

Ingredients For the Shrimp Scampi Pasta – 15 minutes

Shrimp– I have used frozen shrimps for this recipe. You can however use fresh shrimps . The difference shall be in the cook time . This recipe can also be used for lobster tails , small Langoustines . After all it originated in Italy.

Pasta- I have used Spaghetti (Gluten free Pasta ) in this Shrimps Scampi Pasta . You could use any pasta which your family prefers , Angel hair, linguine, Fettuccine.

PS —->Incase you are making a Keto friendly Version please avoid this ingredient. You could replace it with zucchini noodles or any other vegetable of your Choice .

Chicken stock – This forms the base for this flavour packed Scampi. Alternatively water can be used . Incase you are out of Chicken stock . Do not stress , we can flavour the sauce with All purpose Seasoning

Cherry Tomatoes- This is my take on this wonderfully flavoured Shrimp Scampi pasta. I like the extra zest it adds to the lemony zesty sauce .

Pepperoncini – Like I said Earlier I have experimented with the Scampi to get exotic flavours and i like to use the fresh pepper to give a flavour burst on eating this amazing Shrimp Scampi pasta. You can very well Avoid this completely.

Butter and Olive oil- A combination of olive oil and butter gives a creamier and luscious sauce . The olive oil prevents the butter from burning while you sauté . The Butter adds a luscious , richer texture to the Sauce.
Garlic- This is the key ingredient . It elevates the seasoning in the Sauce . Love Garlic.

Lemon Juice and Zest – I have used juice of a lemon as well as the zest making this a lemony , fragrant and rich Shrimp Scampi Pasta.

Instructions to make the Shrimp Scampi Pasta -15 mins in the Instant pot.

Switch on the Sauté mode on your Instant pot . I have made it in my Mealthy Multi pot
When the inner pot is hot ( the screen shows the indication) Add Olive oil and butter mix .
Next add the garlic mince.
Also add the Cheery tomatoes slit in halves .
Next add the Pepperoncini ( this is optional , Omit this if you cannot tolerate heat )
Now add the All purpose Seasoning Lemon Zest .
Next Dunk in the Frozen Shrimps in the Inner pot . Add the lemon Juice and Chicken Stock to the pot .
Cover the Shrimps and now its time to add the Spaghetti .
Its completely important to break the Spaghetti in half and place in a criss cross fashion completely submerging the Pasta in the Chicken Stock .
This will help to avoid the clumps and you shall get exceptional Shrimp Scampi Pasta.
Close the lid of the Instant pot .
Cancel The Sauté mode .
Place the valve on sealing and pressure cook for 2 minutes . After natural release of pressure (about 4 minutes ) Garnish with onions and parsley ( I used only Spring onion And did not use Parsley was out of it !)
Serve hot with Garlic bread .
