Blackened Shrimp Scampi Recipes

BLACKENED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Mix spice ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl (make a double or triple batch and store the remainder for later use!) Dredge shrimp through the mixture.
• Place a large skillet over a very high heat, and melt the butter.
• Place the shrimp in the skillet and turn heat down to medium.
• Cook on both sides for approximately 7 minutes (maybe less) each- pay attention to the shrimp as they cook quickly; when the shrimp curl, they are done.
• Optional – sprinkle the vegetables with the spice mix and sauté in the butter in the same skillet.
• Serve with lots of garlic bread and ice-cold beer or chilled white wine.

Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the shrimp. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until hot and bubbly.
