A hop up of mushrooms added to Shrimp Scampi minus the lemon that turned out great. Maybe it’s not even considered Shrimp Scampi but that’s what we’re calling it. The lemon deduction and mushroom addition definitely pumped up the richness. It’s also a little more unique because we used our Cajun spice on the shrimp. I guess we could call this a lot of things but when we get right down to it, it’s delicious! Very easy to knock out in a matter of minutes.
Start a pot of slightly salted water for the pasta to high heat. 450° to...
Add thawed shrimp to bowl and mix with the olive oil and Cottonmouth until evenly coated. Set aside for a second.
Add 1 ounce of butter and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Swirl till melted.
Drop in garlic and mushrooms.
Push around until the mushrooms have reached your desired texture.
Dump the mushrooms in a large bowl and set aside.
When pasta water begins to boil stir the pasta in. Angel hair pasta set timer for 5 minutes.
Set dirty mushroom pan back on medium high heat. 375° to 400°. This will create a slight crust on shrimp at a higher heat setting.
10. Add remaining butter and shrimp to pan.
11. Fry shrimp in pan until outside is just white. If heat is right it should take 2.5 minutes per 2 sided shrimp. It’s okay if they are not full hard on white cooked. The next steps will finish them out. We are trying to get a crust in the mix.
12. Pasta should be ready and drained. By now
