A quick and easy shrimp scampi recipe cooked on a Blackstone griddle, featuring a rich garlic butter sauce with a hint of lemon and fresh herbs. Perfect for busy weeknights or outdoor cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 5 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Juice of 1 fresh lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • Fresh Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F).
  2. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the griddle. Let it melt and start to foam but not brown.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and oil. Stir quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant, avoiding browning.
  5. Spread the shrimp out in a single layer on the griddle. Cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes to develop a golden sear.
  6. Flip the shrimp and cook the other side for another 2 minutes or until shrimp turn opaque and curl slightly.
  7. Pour in the white wine (if using) and lemon juice. Immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir gently and let the sauce reduce slightly for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle in the chopped parsley and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss everything together to coat the shrimp evenly.
  9. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the griddle to ensure a good sear. Use a combination of butter and olive oil to prevent burning. Adjust heat if shrimp curl tightly or become rubbery. Prepare all ingredients before cooking for smooth process. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan buttery spread or coconut oil.
