Taste of the Ocean: Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Delight

Taste of the Sea: Shrimp Pasta with Garlic Butter

The fresh sea breeze brushes against your cheeks, bringing a hint of saltiness and moisture. On a beautiful day like this, there’s no better way to wake up to the sea than with a plate of garlic-scented shrimp pasta with butter. Today, I’m sharing a dish called “Taste of the Sea: Shrimp Pasta with Garlic Butter” that will not only delight your taste buds, but will also make you feel as if you were at the shimmering sea.

Ingredients:

• Fresh prawns 300g
• Pasta 200g
• 5 cloves of garlic
• Unsalted butter 50g
• Olive oil 2 tablespoons
• White wine 100ml
• 1 fresh lemon
• Coriander or parsley, a few pinches
• Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Clean the fresh prawns, remove the threads and set aside on kitchen paper to absorb the moisture.
2. Peel the garlic and cut into thin slices. Cut the lemon in half, slice one half and squeeze the juice of the other half.
3. Bring a pan of water to the boil, add a pinch of sea salt, throw in the pasta, cook until cooked through, remove from the pan and drain.
4. Heat the olive oil in a pan and slowly fry the sliced garlic over a low heat until golden brown, taking care not to burn it.
5. Add the unsalted butter and allow to melt, then add the prawns and sauté, season with sea salt and black pepper.
6. When the prawns have changed colour, pour in the white wine and cook over high heat until the alcohol evaporates.
7. Pour the cooked pasta into the pan and toss gently with a spatula to coat the pasta with the garlic butter sauce.
8. Finally, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped coriander or parsley.

Tip:

• It is very important to choose fresh shrimp, as fresh shrimp meat has a tender texture and better flavour.
• Don’t overcook pasta, keep it chewy to absorb the flavours of the butter and garlic.
• The addition of white wine not only enhances the aroma, but also removes the fishy taste of the shrimp and adds layers of flavour.

Once everything is ready, served on a simple white porcelain plate, the “Taste of the Sea: Shrimp Pasta with Garlic Butter” is ready. The aroma of butter and garlic combined with the sweetness of the prawns, plus the freshness of lemon and the slight hint of white wine, make you feel like you can hear the sound of the waves lapping on the beach### A Taste of the Sea: Garlic Butter Shrimp Pasta’s Wonderful Journey
