Shrimp Scampi the Wildtree Way

This recipe is easy, delicious and more healthy for you than traditional scampi. The grapeseed oil is lower in calories and fat and higher in antioxidants than commonly used olive oil.


Serves 4

*1 lb. medium shrimp, uncooked, peeled, deveined
*5 tablespoons Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil*
*4 teaspoons Wildtree Scampi Blend
*1/2 lb of linguine or other type of pasta
*Dry white wine (optional)



Cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining and set aside. Drain pasta and set aside.

Place shrimp, 1 1/2 teaspoons Scampi Blend and 3 tablespoons Natural Grapeseed Oil in a cold skillet. Toss and bring to a low heat, cooking until the shrimp are pink, turning often. Remove shrimp from the pan leaving the cooking juices behind. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of Natural Grapeseed Oil, 1/4 cup of pasta water reserve (or wine), 2 1/2 teaspoons of Scampi Blend to the skillet. Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss on low heat until the juices are absorbed. Toss with the shrimp.

* Grapeseed Oil is great for dressings and dipping, but it is absolutely unbeatable for sauteing or frying because it can be heated to a higher temperature than other oils without burning. The higher the heat, the faster the cooking time - so foods stay juicier and retain more nutritional value. And the oil itself has some terrific health benefits!
