Sage Brown Butter Shrimp Scampi
Sage Brown Butter seemed like a natural way to build this Shrimp Scampi dish.
It’s well noted on the pages of Lemony Thyme that Sage Brown Butter is something I’m passionate about. The best way to describe it…’sensual.’ Definition ‘sen-su-al’ adjective: “relating to or consisting in the gratification of the senses or the indulgence of appetite.”

This was a good base to start with. I squeezed in some lemon juice and a bit of zest… I also cooked the shrimp with a rub of garlic and Himalayan salt, and added a bit more butter as I was doing a recipe and a half, also used Calabrian peppers and boy that added a nice little zing!
At the very end it was needing a bit of salt so my secret recipe is smoked sea salt.. it worked wonders! Just a few cracks and the dish was absolutely perfect for my palate.. I also used chickpea linguine and it turned out great! Thanks for the recipe :)

Thanks Jess! I too love smoked sea salt and bet it gave just the right flavor nuance in this recipe :)

I made Sage Brown Butter recipe with Shrimp and it was a huge hit with my entire family. Even my picky 5 year old and 2 year old ate every last bite! I will make again and again. The crispy sage was unreal. Thank you for this wonderfully easy and tasty meal. I will be making many more of your meals in future.
