🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, let's prep the shrimp. Give 'em a good rinse and pat 'em dry with paper towels. Then, peel and devein those beauties (unless you bought pre-peeled, then you're golden!). Then, set those prepped shrimp aside.
- Next, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Don't rush this part; you want the butter to melt gently, almost lovingly.
- Once the butter is melted, add in 4 cloves of minced garlic. Now, here's where things get fragrant! Sauté that garlic for about 30 seconds, just until it starts to release its amazing aroma. Careful not to burn it, though; burnt garlic is sadly not amazing.
- Toss in the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they're pink and perfectly cooked. Don't overcook them; overcooked shrimp is a tragedy of epic proportions.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of dry white wine (or chicken broth if you prefer to keep it alcohol-free). Let it simmer for a minute or two, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. This is your moment to shine, chef!
- Now for the assembly! Warm your slider buns slightly. Spoon the shrimp scampi mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
- Top with the other half of the buns, and there you have it—the most amazing shrimp scampi sliders you'll ever taste! Serve immediately. Enjoy!
📝 Notes
- For best results, use fresh, high-quality shrimp. If you don't have dry white wine, chicken broth works as a good substitute.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. A pinch of red pepper flakes would add a nice kick!
