Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 cup gluten-free chicken broth
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon xanthan gum

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.

Step 4

Pour in the dry white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes to let the alcohol evaporate.

Step 5

Add the gluten-free chicken broth, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and remaining salt and pepper to the skillet. Stir the mixture to combine.

Step 6

Sprinkle the xanthan gum lightly over the sauce, stirring constantly to thicken slightly. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce, and heat for another minute.

Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve the gluten-free shrimp scampi sauce over your choice of gluten-free pasta, rice, or as a dip with gluten-free bread.
