    ingredients of easy shrimp scampi recipe

    All of the ingredients, including Carnation Evaporated Milk, are available at Walmart.

    Make sure to visit the Carnation website for more tasty, sweet and savory recipes made with Carnation milks like our keto shrimp scampi. You’ll love them!

    ABOUT CARNATION MILKS

    Carnation milks are a versatile ingredient that add rich taste and smooth texture like no other milk due to their lower amounts of water. This makes them perfect for cooking and baking.

    They not only go well in desserts, as you may already know, but they are perfect in savory dishes like our Shrimp Scampi and more: pastas, soups, stews, dressings, sauces, this Avocado Dip and more.

    Carnation now offers reclosable tetra packs which provide added convenience. They can be refrigerated for up to 10 days and, of course, reused for multiple dishes and drinks.

    Carnation also provides several dairy alternative options, including lactose-free evaporated milk and dairy-free, organic almond cooking milk. Plus, all of Carnation’s milks are gluten-free, making it easy to meet a variety of dietary restrictions or preferences.

    Best of all, it’s from Nestlé, a brand that has been a trusted partner in American and Latin kitchens for 120 years. Awesome, right?!

    HOW TO MAKE CREAMY SHRIMP SCAMPI

    In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat for about 1 minute. Then add the garlic and let cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Do not let brown!

    Add the shrimp and lemon zest; season with salt (and red pepper flakes, if desired). Toss until the shrimp turns pink and opaque in the center, which should take about 3 minutes. Add the white wine; toss 1 minute. Add Carnation Evaporated Milk and stir just until sauce is homogeneous. Let cook for about 1-2 minutes.

    Remove pan from the heat, stir in lemon juice. If you want, sprinkle chopped parsley and/or basil leaves. Serve over pasta, zoodles or with a hard-crusted bread to soak in the sauce. Enjoy!

    WHAT’S SHRIMP SCAMPI?

    Scampi itself is an Italian dish that consists of langoustines (saltwater crayfish-like crustaceans) cooked with olive oil or butter, garlic, onion and white wine.

    In contrast, shrimp scampi is in fact an Italian-American adaptation of the classic scampi. Italian cooks in the United States replaced scampi with shrimp but kept both names.

    Variations followed –some adding tomatoes, breadcrumbs, different herbs, or substituting other spirits for wine. Our quick shrimp scampi recipe is one of those variations. Simple, yummy and a time saver.

    Some versions even thicken the keto shrimp scampi sauce with a mixture of cornstarch and water.

    EASY SHRIMP SCAMPI RECIPE STORAGE:

    Store low carb shrimp scampi with wine in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Mix well before serving. Freeze for up to 2 months.

    EXTRA INGREDIENTS/SUBSTITUTIONS:

    If you’d like to you can easily substitute butter for olive oil or use half of each. Love onions? Add chopped onions and cook them for about 3 minutes before adding the garlic.

    For a spicy version of this creamy shrimp scampi, add a pinch of red pepper flakes after seasoning with salt. You could also top the dish with any fresh herbs of your liking.

      This is a wonderful recipe! I love Carnation evaporated milk in these cartons! I’ve had to order them from Amazon because my store quit selling them. I must have been the only one buying them. They’re so much more handy than the cans!
