20 Minute Instant Pot Shrimp Scampi Pasta Recipes

INSTANT POT SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA

Steps:

• Heat Instant Pot on "Saute" function. Add butter, olive oil, shallots, and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until shallots soften, 2-3 minutes.
• Add wine and cook, stirring, until wine has reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Turn Instant Pot off.
• Add 1 ¼ cups broth to pot, scraping up any brown bits. Crack pasta in half and layer in a criss cross pattern. Add remaining broth and separate strands of pasta as much as possible. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and then add frozen shrimp to the top, without stirring. Sprinkle with salt.
• Secure Instant Pot lid and turn valve to seal. Set on "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" (depending on your model) for 0 minutes (not a typo!). If your Instant Pot model will not accept 0 minutes as a setting, simply press Cancel when you hear the signal that it's reached full pressure.
• Once the Instant Pot has reached full pressure, immediately release pressure by doing a "quick release" and turning valve to vent.
• Remove cover and stir in Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and lemon juice.
• Taste and season with additional salt and red pepper flakes as needed. Serve immediately.

OLIVE GARDEN SHRIMP SCAMPI COPYCAT RECIPE WITHOUT WINE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over medium-high heat.
• Then, in a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 4 Tablespoons of butter. Lightly season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet.
• Cook, stirring occasionally until pink; about 2 minutes per side (be careful not to overcook the shrimp! You will want to cook until the shrimp have barely turned pink on all sides and it happens fast!). Remove the shrimp to a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Add the pasta into the pot of boiling water and cook for 6-8 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Drain, saving 1/2 cup of the pasta water, and set the pasta aside.
• While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. In the same skillet used to cooked the shrimp, add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute the garlic for about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth and vinegar.
• Bring the mixture to a boil and then lower the heat. Simmer for 5-8 minutes until the chicken broth has reduced by half. Add the lemon juice and asparagus and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter to the sauce along with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, then stir to combine.
• Return the shrimp to the skillet, along with the diced tomatoes and cooked pasta. Using tongs, lightly toss the pasta, shrimp and veggies in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed to make sure that everything is coated evenly with sauce. Add more salt and pepper as needed.
• Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
