Gluten Free Shrimp Scampi with Pasta

Total time35 min

Prep time15 min

Cook time20 min

Plump shrimp get a quick sear until just pink and opaque, then simmer in a bright, garlicky pan sauce built from dry white wine, chicken broth, and fresh lemon juice, finished glossy with butter melted in piece by piece. Tossed with spaghetti and a splash of starchy pasta water, everything comes together into that classic silky scampi coating that clings to every strand. A scatter of sliced scallions and fresh parsley adds a clean, herby finish, with lemon wedges on the side for extra brightness. Garlic-infused olive oil keeps the flavor deep without any actual garlic cloves to chop, and the red pepper flakes bring just enough heat to balance the citrus. It's a fast, restaurant-style dinner that comes together in under 30 minutes, and it's a great pick for a gluten free table. Serve it straight from the skillet with extra lemon wedges for squeezing at the table.

Chef's tip
Gluten-free pasta often cooks faster, so check it a little early to avoid becoming mushy.

¼ tsp black pepper
3 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil, divided

Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
