Ingredients for 2 large or 4 small portions: 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil 1 pound shrimp salt to taste 6 cloves garlic, minced fine 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 2 tbsp cold butter, cut in 4 pieces 3 tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp caper brine 1/3 cup chopped Italian parsley, divided water as needed to thin sauce
I don't know? Maybe you should watch more of his videos? And then possibly figure out why he always questions everything? Maybe you question your life? I'm sure there is some sort of correlation? Who knows?
This finished before the rice was done. My husband prepped the rice while I peeled the shrimp, and the shrimp was STILL done before the rice. When he says get everything ready beforehand, he’s not kidding around. I didn’t have parsley, so skipped it. This is now in my repertoire for when we need to eat, but get out of the house fast. Delish!
I just made this for my wife. Exactly how you said to do it, with every exact ingredient. She said it's the best shrimp she has ever eaten and the flavors are phenomenal. I tried one although, I'm not a shrimp fanatic and from the flavors to the texture it was perfect and we'll balanced. Excellent recipe. This is how we will be cooking shrimp from now on! Thank you!👍🏻
funny thing is I don't eat any seafood but made this for my girlfriend who loves seafood. I made it and never tasted it.her mind was blown when she tasted it, and she wants to know how I make such good seafood and don't eat seafood.Thanks sincerely, getting lucky tonight!
Just made this recipe yesterday, with a slight alteration of course. Didn't have a jar of capers but I did have a jar of Spanish pimento olives. I just used the brine from that instead. The shrimp came out fantastic. Thanks again Chef John. Another great recipe. Very easy.
One of the million reasons that I love Chef John is that his stuff really works. I just followed his recipe 1:1 (OK I used 4 more toes of garlic...) It turned out wonderful! I love the "secret ingredient", nice touch! I never follow recipes (except in baking) but so far, John's guidance really, really works for me! I have re-discovered my love and passion for cooking, thanks to Chef John! (And Adam&Alex)
I made this for my darling wife two days ago and she loved it. Thank you Chef John for sharing this delightful food recipe with us. I'll be attempting more to your work in the very near future.
I have bought garlic shrimp from the Chinese restaurant but they only give you like 5 pieces. I so grateful for this recipe. Now I'll have enough shrimp. I love it
Why do I so love watching Chef John cook ??? He's just amazing, I do love him, and want to rey every recipe, well, almost every one, expecially all the desserts, shrimp, fish, meat, poultry ones.
+wjmortician He is just excited by his cooking, and some men have a high sounding voice. His voice is fine with me and I wish I had his skills at cooking and putting together great videos. He is my favorite chef on TH-cam, perhaps he can have a TV series someday.
Made this last night. Excellent dinner and wife agreed. I added about 1/4 cup of dry white wine to the lemon juice / caper brine because I wanted a little more sauce for the pasta. Turned out very well. The key to this dish is don't burn the garlic; it's ruined if you do. I cooked the garlic and red pepper flakes for only about 30 seconds for this reason. A full minute might be too long. Next up is the Shrimp Fra Diavolo!
I've cooked this many times. Now days I add some cream at the end, turn the heat down and just let the cream slowly heat up. Makes the sauce at the end creamy, my prefered way to cook them now.
This was the very first dish I learned to make in my college dorm back in 2014. It was the highlight of my friday nights and it impressed my roommates so much. I still make this for friends and family 10 years later! Thank you for sharing Chef! :)
This scampi recipe is just right on the money man... nothing better on the Internet than Chef John's super basic rendition of garlic shrimp scampi... you can add rice or noodles with a bit more chicken or veggie liquid base maybe even a bit of milk with the rice... the stuff is just gonna be a meal you'd get in a solid restaurant. And that's all there is to it.......
Last comment years ago??? I have watched this several times, slow learner. Love the recipe. Wife, Resident Food Critic, insists we have eaten something different but I sneak up on her with this. Many thanks to Chef John!
Made this in like 2012 when I first started cooking myself and it was pretty good. Now made it today after honing my skills a bit and all I can say is that this recipe is unbelievably good. Thank you based Chef John.
I made this for dinner the other night, doubling the recipe. Then I cooked one pound of spaghetti noodles Al dente and tossed them with the garlic shrimp. I served this with my fantastic garlic bread and dinner was a big hit! Thank you Chef John for yet another fantastic recipe!!!
Wow... you made this 10 years ago!? You are a legend Chef John! Thanks for a 'quick and dirty' recipe, was looking for around for a basic shrimp 'how to' and yours was the shortest and briefest... Done! '; p
Dear Chef :) Me and my husband made these garlic shrimps this New Years eve, and let me tell you and everybody whos reading this ... they were the most AMAZING thing I've tasted in a LONG time! We couldn't stop dipping the bread in the garlic sauce, it was SO delicious, so thank you for this awesome recipe! We did leave out the secret ingredient tho, the brine, since none of us like capers and didn't wanted to buy them for the juice only! ;D Also, we did your recipe on the slow roasted lamb shanks as the main course, and it was ALSO very delicious. But the shrimps man, the shrimps!
it's also often more visually pleasing as well..if it tastes good, shouldn't be a problem, just cut it at the tail if it's too much work to work around it.
+ewt415 I would take it as a sign of greater care if the shrimps were served to me without a tail. Tail on is more for Eating shrimps by hand. Just a minor peeve of mine
+will walker Yes if you look very closely, you can see that he in fact did do just that. You're welcome, always willing help to help out my fellow citizens.
I think You Should try Lemon Garlic Shrimp Recipe ( Very Easy Way ). Is is very easy to make. I have tried. Checkout the recipe here:⏩⏩ th-cam.com/video/ZLGgtkWSvxo/w-d-xo.html
Watching in 2020 but this was the first of many Chef John recipes that I made. Just getting a refresher since it's been a few years and I'm making it tonight. Every one of his recipes is a banger! Making the Buffalo chicken dip also for the super bowl tomorrow. Chef John is the man!
@@majesticpbjcat7707 - we made the sloppy joe dip for the game! can't wait. the smell is yummo. my first chef john recipe was the oven easy brisket. it is now a friend and family favorite. everyone asks for it.
I love shrimp, especially scampi style. I finally tried this recipe last night & have to say it was better than any shrimp dish I have ever eaten in any restaurant or tried creating on my own. This was awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your secret on the caper brine as I would have never thought of trying that.
I just love Chef John. He has been my favorite since I found a turkey recipe by him- a few years ago. Chef John, you make me feel like a chef and definitely make me look like one. can't wAit to try this recipe!
I have bought garlic shrimp from the Chinese restaurant but they only give you like 5 pieces. I so grateful for this recipe. Now I'll have enough shrimp. I love it ?
I am allergic to shrimps, but wanted to make it for my husband and son who love shrimps. I must say it is hard to cook without being able to taste lol, but they completely LOVED it. I did add my own touch: oregano, adobo, black pepper, and cilantro. I will be making this more often for them. It was tasteful and QUICK and easy to make.
This is an awesome dish as the video suggests only if you don't deviate too much from Chef John's instructions but I would caution those who are like me are impatient or inexperienced to watch the temperature of the "oil" is not too too hot as my prawns which I'll admit was brine and semi frozen as being my only deviation to the recipe did cause:- The flare up of the century which I have never experience before to that length of 15 to 20 seconds while:- 15 to 20 seconds might seem like nothing but in cooking time believe you me it's decades when you’re alarms going off in the dead of night because of the billowing thick smoke produced and waking up everyone in the house perhaps even the neighbours. Ironically the flare up which lasted what seemed a life time stop luckily just before mum tore herself away from her soap which she hates to do to see what commotion was brewing in the kitchen otherwise I think my days of home cooking in mum's kitchen would have ended right then. It was quite the flutter at one stage I feared I might have to call the fire department - not what one expects of a quiet night in but despite grease slightly melting from the exhaust fan grills above down the stove’s enamel and luckily not in my prawns which was god-sent because I’ve being looking forward to trying this recipe for yonks. Despite all solid flames going the prawns didn't come out burnt at all - perhaps slightly firmer then I like but still totally eatable and every part appetizing and it made for a lovely accompaniment on top of my spaghetti and red sauce base so it takes nothing away from this recipe or dish However you be best to stick to the exact recipe on this one and watch the entire time the oil is heating before reaching it’s smoking point and if you leave it on too long I suggest allowing the smoke anyways and heat to die a bit before adding your prawns and to cook on the inner hot plates at home and perhaps keep a wet fire blanket close when working with hot oil wouldn't hurt either.
I ended up making this last night but with ginger instead of garlic as i am allergic, and instead of butter i used white wine and water mix. It was actually very tasty thank you chef john for the inspiration. Its a very tasty simple, and quick meal.
Update: I made this and BOOM! However, here're my variations...I added sliced mushrooms and half a small jar of capers to mine and served over some Angel Hair pasta..........Child.....CHURCH 'OUT!!!!
Used a little more lemon/caper than I should have so took the prawns out when perfect, cranked the heat back up, and reduced it to bestest lemon-garlic dipping sauce you can imagine with some crusty French bread. Thanks from the tropical coast of north Queensland, Chef John, where we eat these things almost daily and we're always on the lookout for something that makes perfect even better.
BEWARE: Shrimp goes from perfectly cooked to rubber in a manner of seconds. As quickly as I moved, my Key West Pink Shrimp came out overdone. My wife and I ate what we could tolerate, then fed the rest of the dish to the disposal. My fault, I’m sure, but Chef John’s advice to get your pan as hot as you can did not work for me.
Shrimp cooks so fast! I usually toss them in seasonings and a bit of canola oil to coat them and then just cook them for about 30 seconds per side on a ripping hot pan. Once they’re not translucent pull them out and set aside till the end. I usually deglaze with chopped onions but in this case I would just turn heat to low and add in the butter and lemon.
My goodness you people are such babies, imagine having to suffer a home cooked meal with high quality ingredients while half of the world starves. I’m sure plenty would eat it happily even if overcooked. Again big babies.
Ingredients for 2 large or 4 small portions:
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 pound shrimp
salt to taste
6 cloves garlic, minced fine
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp cold butter, cut in 4 pieces
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp caper brine
1/3 cup chopped Italian parsley, divided
water as needed to thin sauce
Jose Zevallos its always easy when you have a list of ingredients. Thanks for sharing
Instead of italian parsley, what else we cn use? As m living in indonesia. Its really hard to find it. Thx
Jose Zevallos e

Maybe try cilantro? A bit spicier than parsley, but if you're living in Indonesia, you can probably handle it. ;->
I am about to make it right now, using cilantro.

Dried parsley works just as well

Never understood why Chefs leave the tails on shrimp that are meant to be eaten with a fork. I dont like to do extra work when I'm eating
keeping the tails will add more flavor

Cecilia Kemp Would YOU Waste Your Time Carefully Taking Them Off Before You Cook Them When You Can Easily Just Bite It Off When Its Cooked
Cecilia Kemp was actually more sad when he just cut the tails leaving wasted meat inside the tail shell. And he did this twice.
There's a caption saying he sucked the meat out of the tails later.
I just made this for my husband tonight and it was delicious. Thank you for another great recipe.
It was good, but i think too much lemon overlaps the other flavors :(
Thank you, Chef John. This is a great recipe. I added a quarter cup of heavy cream to the sauce before serving over linguini.
BEWARE: Shrimp goes from perfectly cooked to rubber in a manner of seconds. As quickly as I moved, my Key West Pink Shrimp came out overdone. My wife and I ate what we could tolerate, then fed the rest of the dish to the disposal. My fault, I’m sure, but Chef John’s advice to get your pan as hot as you can did not work for me.
Shrimp cooks so fast! I usually toss them in seasonings and a bit of canola oil to coat them and then just cook them for about 30 seconds per side on a ripping hot pan. Once they’re not translucent pull them out and set aside till the end. I usually deglaze with chopped onions but in this case I would just turn heat to low and add in the butter and lemon.
365 degrees with about a 20-25 count 45 sec per side
My goodness you people are such babies, imagine having to suffer a home cooked meal with high quality ingredients while half of the world starves. I’m sure plenty would eat it happily even if overcooked. Again big babies.
Thank you Captain obvious
Just made this and it was delish! It is now my go to garlic shrimp recipe. The caper brine really makes a big difference.
You're so funny lol
I made this, this evening. I added some extra olive oil since I was putting this over pasta. This was absolutely delicious. and so easy to make.
This is not simple, i'm missing 90% of this.
Shit happens if you only have frozen pizza in your fridge
