Green Shrimp scampi with freshly baked baguette and a side of S.Pellegrino Essenza is my kind of weekend dinner of choice.
Luxurious Experience To Your Favorite Elevated Meal
Shrimp scampi is one of my favorite dishes to make. Scampi is made with large shrimp that is seasoned, then cooked and generously smothered in butter, garlic, red crushed pepper, chopped parsley, shallots and some lemon juice. All those flavors come together in less than 30 minutes and dinner is ready. It is a dish that is made with simple ingredients, yet makes a restaurant quality elevated dish. I do not drink juice often and my preferred choice of drink for dinner is always some sort of flavored water and S.Pellegrino Essenza has been my go-to. Their flavored mineral waters are made with fruit flavors, zero calories, and zero sweeteners. All flavors of S.Pellegrino Essenza are great, but my favorite is the Tangerine & Wild Strawberry because I love citrus flavors. Especially now as the weather gets warmer, this drink is so refreshing and pairs well with this decadent green shrimp scampi dish.

Green Shrimp Scampi
If you have tried Shrimp scampi before, then you know that it is a clear light colored sauce. But for today’s recipe, I switched it up. You get all the flavors of a traditional shrimp scampi, but with a delicious green twist. The base of the green sauce is a lot of parsley thrown into a blender with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, shallot, jalapeño, salt, pepper, and garlic. Super easy to put together and the green color is just so vibrant! For the shrimp, I used wild caught large shrimp and decided to keep the shell on, but you can feel free to remove it before cooking it. Check below for full recipe details and don’t forget to stop by Walmart or Walmart.com to pick up any of the S.Pellegrino Essenza to enjoy with this Green Shrimp Scampi dish.
