    This dairy free shrimp scampi sauce recipe comes together with a combination of olive oil and non dairy butter along with garlic, broth, lemon juice, and fresh parsley.

    Shrimp scampi sauce is traditionally made of butter, garlic, lemon juice, and white wine.

    My recipe calls for olive oil in place of butter, as well as dairy free butter to give this dish extra flavor.

    In addition to this meal being dairy free and egg free, it's also gluten free! I love how bright, fresh, and light this meal is. Making it perfect for easy weeknight dinners!

    How to Make Dairy Free Shrimp Scampi without Wine

    This recipe comes together quite quickly, so make sure everything is prepped and ready ahead of time.

    Cook the pasta: Start by boiling a large pot with salted water. Once pasta is finished cooking, reserve about ¼ cup pasta water before draining. You can use this starchy water to add additional flavor and creaminess to the sauce.

    Sear the shrimp: In a large skillet, melt the butter and warm olive oil. Add garlic and saute until fragrant. Toss in shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and let cook for about 2 minutes on each side.

    Make the scampi sauce: Pour in broth and bring to a simmer. Let simmer until shrimp is cooked then stir in remaining butter and lemon juice. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.

    When combining shrimp scampi sauce with pasta, feel free to add that leftover pasta water to help bring everything together.

    What to serve with Homemade Shrimp Scampi

    I suggest serving your shrimp scampi over linguine pasta with an appetizer or side dish. Here are a few ideas that pair perfectly:

    • Classic Tomato and Basil Bruschetta
    • Spinach Artichoke Bruschetta
    • Shishito Peppers
    • Chickpea Kale Caesar Salad
    • Tomato Galette with Almond Ricotta

        Hi Sandra, they're sold at the store as vegan buttery sticks. Some popular dairy free butter brands include Country Crock, Earth Balance, Miyoko's, and Kite Hill.
