Shrimp scampi is a simple, flavorful dish that’s all about shrimp cooked in a buttery, garlicky sauce. 🍤🧄
Here’s the classic idea:
- Shrimp: Peeled and deveined, usually medium or large.
- Sauce: Butter, olive oil, lots of garlic, and a splash of lemon juice.
- Flavorings: Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (optional), and parsley.
- Serving: Often served over pasta, with rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
It cooks fast—usually in under 10 minutes—so it’s great for a quick meal that still feels special.
