Description

This luxurious Ny's Scampi Sauce is a restaurant-quality dish that brings the warmth of Italian-American cuisine straight to your dinner table. The sauce combines the aromatic punch of minced garlic and fresh herbs with the smooth, velvety texture of heavy cream and egg yolks. Plump, deveined shrimp are saut&# 195;©ed until pink and tender, absorbing the flavors of dry white wine and tomato sauce. The result is a decadent, comforting sauce that clings beautifully to hot buttered pasta. It is an elegant yet approachable meal, ideal for date nights or special family dinners.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, tossing with a wide spatula until shrimp are bright pink on both sides.
  4. Pour in white wine and tomato sauce, then cook for 1 minute to deglaze the pan.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, basil, and oregano.
  6. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks with the remaining 1/4 cup heavy cream.
  7. Reduce heat to low and slowly stir the egg yolk mixture into the skillet, cooking gently until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Remove from heat immediately to prevent curdling; do not boil the sauce.
  9. Season to taste with salt and white pepper.
  10. Spoon the hot scampi sauce over hot buttered pasta and sprinkle with finely minced parsley.

Note

Do not boil the sauce after adding the egg yolks, or they will scramble. Keep the heat low and stir constantly.

Serve immediately over hot pasta to ensure the sauce stays smooth and creamy.

For a richer flavor, you can use a mix of butter and olive oil for sautéing the garlic.

If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it out with a splash of warm pasta water or additional cream.
