Ultimate Shrimp Scampi

There is a reason shrimp scampi is a restaurant favorite. When done right, this dish marries tender shrimp with a creamy, garlicky, and lemony sauce.

“This recipe holds a special place in my heart because it was the first one I ever cooked after I joined the ATK family. It’s also a menu item that my mother and i enjoy ordering when we treat ourselves to dine-out nights. None of the scampi dishes we had in the past ever lived up to the ATK version; they often lacked any depth of flavor and, once the shrimp was out of the butter, the taste was gone. Our recipe offers an abundance of flavor that you don’t leave behind on the plate; it also utilizes all the parts of the shrimp so nothing goes to waste. Delicious and Sustainable!” – Elle Simone Scott

Infinitely Better & Easier Dishes

Sous Vide Rosemary-Mustard Seed Crusted Roast Beef

Hands-off roast reigns supreme

If you have a sous vide machine, you’re always on the lookout for the next great sous vide recipe. If you don’t have one, this recipe just may be your tipping point. The sealed meat cooks to your desired temperature in a gentle water bath–meaning it fits your definition of perfectly done–and you finish it with a quick sear on the stove.

Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

The next best thing to actual chicken

These crunchy, tangy, spicy, and just plain addictive cauliflower bites will be the new star of your game day table. The key to this recipe is the crunchy coating that can hold its own under the buffalo sauce, resulting in a bite that never becomes soggy. There is no doubt that these are sure to impress vegans, non-vegans and even the biggest cauliflower critics!

Lemon Olive Oil Tart

Bye bye butter!

“Ditch the butter for better flavor” is something you’ll rarely hear, but in this case it’s true. Using extra-virgin olive oil makes the press-in-pan crust snap and allows lemons’ acidity to shine in the rich, firm filling.
