Sous Vide Shrimp Scampi
Shrimp scampi is a favorite to be ordered at restaurants. Right? Not anymore! I’m cooking shrimp scampi in my own kitchen! I’m serving it over pasta, I’m serving it with crusty bread, I’m eating it right out of the skillet, gosh darnit!
I might have a little too much enthusiasm around this.
Shrimp is one of those foods that’s a match made in heaven for sous vide: it’s finicky. Overcook it, it gets unpleasantly crunchy. Undercook it… and that’s bad news in a whole other way. But when it’s cooked just right? It’s snappy, bouncy, and totally delicious. Thanks to the magic of sous vide, you can nail that perfect temperature.
Then you cover it in butter and a ton of fresh parsley? Winner, winner, you’ve got a shrimp dinner.
