This shrimp scampi is a bright, savory dish that pairs succulent shrimp with zesty lemon, garlic, and buttery parmesan goodness. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a light but satisfying date night meal, it’s layered with depth from a splash of white wine and richness from butter and olive oil. Fresh herbs like basil or parsley brighten the finish, while a dash of red pepper flakes adds just the right amount of heat. With its quick cook time and elegant presentation, this recipe feels gourmet without the effort. Serve it hot over al dente pasta and top with extra parmesan for a restaurant-quality experience at home.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Shrimp Deveining Mastery 🍤Devein shrimp quickly by making a shallow cut along the back and removing the dark vein with a paring knife to ensure a clean, professional presentation.
- Pasta Water Magic 💧Always reserve 1/2 cup of starchy pasta water before draining, as it's the secret to creating a silky, emulsified sauce that perfectly coats your shrimp and pasta.
- Garlic Golden Rule 🧄Slice garlic thinly and add it to cold oil, then heat together to prevent burning and develop a deeper, more mellow garlic flavor.
- Wine Deglazing Technique 🍷When adding white wine, use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the pan, which concentrate incredible flavor into your scampi sauce.
- Shrimp Cooking Precision ⏱️Cook shrimp just until they turn pink and curl slightly (about 2-3 minutes), removing them immediately to prevent overcooking and rubbery texture.
