Shrimp Scampi Recipe
One of my husband’s favorite things to order when we go out to a seafood restaurant is shrimp scampi. For a treat, I made this recipe for Shrimp Scampi and added a bit of a grilled twist. Let me tell you, the smokiness from the grill just adds that little extra to take a fantastic meal to the next level. The Napoleon Stainless Steel Wok is a great accessory too, one of the top five in my grill-accessory-arsenal. It’s perfectly suited to tossing the pasta and shrimp together to get everything perfectly coated and saucy.

8 to 10 oz.
uncooked spaghetti or fettuccini pasta
16 to 20
large shrimp, shelled and de-veined
2 tsp.
pepper
1 tsp.
grated citrus peel (lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, or a combination of all three)
¼ tsp.
dehydrated garlic
salt to taste
3 tbsp.
butter
3 tbsp.
olive oil
4 cloves
garlic, sliced thin
½ cup
dry white wine like sauvignon blanc
1 tbsp.
dried parsley
¼ cup
fresh grated parmesan cheese
freshly ground salt and pepper to taste
½
lemon, freshly squeezed
red pepper flakes (optional)
- Cook pasta until it’s just a little less than al dente, you want it slightly undercooked so that it will finish in the Wok. Reserve a ½ cup of pasta water.
- Preheat your grill to 400°F.
- Season the shrimp with pepper, grated citrus peel, garlic, and salt to taste. Grill the shrimp over direct heat until they’re nearly done, about 3 minutes per side.
- While the shrimp are grilling, melt the butter and oil in the Napoleon Stainless Steel Wok, over medium-low heat, on your side burner. Add the garlic and the optional red pepper flakes just before you’re ready to add the shrimp so that it doesn’t overcook.
- Remove the shrimp from the grill and add them to the garlic and butter, tossing to coat. Pour in the wine and cover the wok for 2 to 3 minutes while everything simmers.
- Add the pasta, parsley, and parmesan to the wok, tossing to combine. If there’s not enough liquid, you can add the pasta water, a dribble at a time, until everything is smooth and coated.
- When you’re ready to serve, add salt and pepper to taste, and then squeeze the fresh lemon over top. Garnish with additional parmesan cheese.
