In honor of our 10th Birthday in June, Home Chef is celebrating a decade of deliciousness by giving home cooks the chance to try our Top 10 Greatest Hits of all time — like this meal! The beauty of shrimp scampi lies in its simplicity. Tender, pan-seared shrimp with a garlicky white wine-cream sauce and a nice pile of pasta. Boom. Done. Well, not quite done, because we've upped the ante by including ciabatta bread with cheesy goodness. You'll definitely want to keep this recipe card near the front of your binder so you can make it again and again.

Cooking Guidelines
To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:
- Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
- Seafood 145° F |
- Chicken 165° F |
- Ground Beef 160° F |
- Ground Turkey 165° F |

Customize It Instructions
-
If using 16 oz. shrimp, follow same instructions as 8 oz. shrimp, working in batches if necessary.
-
If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Cook in a medium non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.
-
If using diced chicken thighs, pat dry. In a medium non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium heat, stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.
-
If using scallops, pat dry. Cook in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat with 2 tsp. olive oil until scallops reach minimum internal temperature, 1-2 minutes per side. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.
