Will the real shrimp scampi please stand up?
I’m not sure who first coined the phrase “Shrimp Scampi,” but they probably didn’t speak Italian (or English). Nevertheless, it has become a super popular and delicious dish because it is so easy to cook and requires a couple basic ingredients. To be honest, I prefer the simpler, classically Americano version with just shrimp, but it was fun seeing what a dish that was 100% true to the name “Shrimp Scampi” would taste like. And while I was already eating a dish with multiple types of seafood, I figured why not just add some caviar too.
You can make this with or without the langostino and caviar and it will be a delicious and easy weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
2 Servings of Pasta
¼ c Butter
4 Cloves Garlic
Crushed Red Pepper (To Taste)
½ c White Wine
8-10 Shrimp
8-10 Langostino Tails
Chopped Parsley
Lemon Juice
Caviar (Optional)
Recipe:
-After starting to boil your pasta, melt ¼ c of Butter on low, then add 4 Cloves of Garlic and crushed red pepper.
-As soon as you can smell the garlic, add ½ c white wine to stop the cooking process and let that simmer for 2-3 minutes.
-Add your shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes before flipping and cooking for another minute. If you’re langostino tails aren’t pre-cooked, add them with the shrimp here too.
-If you’re langostino tails are pre-cooked and frozen, then add them when the shrimp are almost done.
-Add the al dente pasta to the pan with the meat, and toss vigorously with the parsley and a splash of leftover pasta water.
-Garnish with some fresh squeezed lemon juice and optional caviar… if you’re feeling fancy.

Will the real Shrimp Scampi please stand up? Please stand up.
Never heard about langostinos, but shrimp scampi as a dish is well known… Interesting fact from you as always 😊
As always, my favourite Italian delivers another banger
Will the REAL shrimp scampi please stand up?
In Italy, if you just order scampi, you'll just get langostino in this same garlic butter sauce that people in the English speaking world now call a scampi sauce.

I have never had scampi that weren't breaded and fried sadly.
Those scampi are at least average size for sure
I knew this because I'm English, you can get Langoustines at the fish and chip shop. Not with pasta though haha
Scampi are a sort of crabs similar to lobster just thinner and smaller
Ah yes "chai tea" the worst words to be spoken to an indian
As a Brit, I was expecting something breaded and fried 😂
LOL your shrimp scampi made me crave a shrimp carbonara 😂 🥓 🐖🐖
Scampi in Britain is very bloody different.
Didn’t expect you’d be saying CHAI TEA🥲🥲
So scampi is a crawfish
Wait, some people actually thought Scampi was a sauce?!
Scampi and chips is one of my favourite fish and chip orders over here in the UK. I was never in doubt! 😅
Dang, we're deep into the alphabet already. I remember being last in line every class for my last name, and now we're at Scampi?
Hopefully this series hasn't done too much damage to your waistline!
Cheers for this long-lived series ❤🎉
Thanks this is lunch now
So there's two recipes in one video: one without fancy ingridients for everyday cooking and one that is based on top of the first to be a bit more fancy!
Such a great concept, I wish a lot more people do that!
Climbing the charts with subscribers just like I knew you would when I commented a few months ago, Trigg. SO proud to see your inevitable progression, you are a unique talent and have so much value to share with the world. So happy for you, so excited for what’s to come. Sending love and blessings from Ireland ❤
TRIGG TUBEEEEE
Been binging these shorts today.
Edit: You hid the "J" video of the ABC's by not titling it as such! XD
