Best Buttery Shrimp Scampi Dip Recipes

SCAMPI

Steps:

• Put the breadcrumbs in a skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of the garlic and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Cook, stirring, until the crumbs are toasted and caramelized, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
• In a saute pan large enough to comfortably fit the shrimp in 1 layer, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook, without moving the shrimp, until caramelized on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp over and cook for another 2 minutes; remove from the pan.
• Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the white wine and remaining 2 tablespoons garlic and cook for 1 minute. Return the shrimp to the pan. Add the Worcestershire, lemon zest and juice and remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Cook, simmering, until the liquid thickens.
• Add the pasta to the pan if using and additional salt if necessary. Transfer to serving bowls and top with the toasted breadcrumbs and parsley. Serve with garlic bread if desired.

SHRIMP SCAMPI DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and place rack on top 3rd of the oven. Melt butter in an 8-inch cast iron skillet or oven safe pan. Saute garlic and onion until soft, about 2-3 minutes. Add shrimp, chili flakes and salt. Cook until shrimp turns pink, about 1-2 minutes. Add white wine and cook at a simmer until about 1 tablespoon liquid remains.
• Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons parsley and salt to taste. Top with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and place skillet into oven.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes until cheese is bubbling. Increase heat to broil and cook until the top is browning in spots, about 3-5 minutes more. Remove from oven and top with 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.
• Let rest 5 minutes before serving with toast or crackers and vegetable crudite.

CREAMY SHRIMP SCAMPI DIP

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top position, and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Beat the cream cheese, mozzarella, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan, 2 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium high until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to add the shrimp.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp just start to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a simmer and cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes (there will be some liquid left in the skillet). Remove the skillet from the heat, and let the shrimp cool completely.
• Meanwhile, mix together the parsley, the remaining 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter, the lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
• Stir the shrimp, pan sauce and cream cheese mixtures together to combine; transfer to a 2-quart flameproof baking dish. (The dip and breadcrumb mixture can be covered and refrigerated overnight separately at this point.) Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the dip, and bake until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Switch the oven to broil, and cook until the top is golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with bread and/or crackers.
