Shrimp Scampi Sauce Recipe
I have got the best Shrimp Scampi Sauce Recipe ever! It’s easy to make and all you have to do is bake it! This recipe is easy but you couldn’t tell it by the taste! It tastes amazing! I’ve always wondering what the trick to amazing Shrimp Scampi was and now I know! It’s the combination of the olive oil and seasonings!
We ended up making this Shrimp Scampi Sauce recipe and put these delicious bites on top of a salad to make a complete and healthy meal!
Shrimp Scampi Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon course sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 cup Pompeian Olive Oil
Instructions
- Combine the lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic and oregano in a bowl and whisk it until all the salt crystals have dissolved. Stir in the Pompeian Olive Oil. As an optional ingredient, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat in your dish.
- For this scampi recipe I used a pound of 20 count pre-cooked frozen shrimp. Pour the frozen shrimp in a deep baking dish and cover it with the scampi sauce you just prepared. Bake it for about 5 to 10 minutes on 350 degrees. (You will bake it just enough time for the frozen shrimp to heat if it's precooked shrimp)

There are a few tricks to making this recipe tastes just like a professional made it. First, I always use fresh ingredients. Use fresh garlic cloves and fresh oregano. It really does make a simple dish taste amazing.
The next thing I did to make this recipe tastes amazing is I used the Robust Flavor Olive Oil. Don’t be fooled by Olive Oil. They are not all the same. If you look closely at the ingredients you will find that some Olive Oils are mixed with regular oil and sold for almost the same price. My personal favorite is the Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Robust Flavor.

They always say the secret is in the sauce and yes, with the fresh ingredients it really is!
Give this recipe a try and be sure to come back and tell me what you think about it.
Well this answered my question of “what’s for dinner tonight” ! I agree with you about the EVOO, it was only recently I discovered that some are mixed with regular oil.
