Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your scampi the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will also work, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in scampi, so be sure to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, but you can also use a lighter olive oil if you prefer.
  • Add garlic and herbs: Garlic and herbs are essential for flavoring scampi. Use fresh garlic and herbs whenever possible. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Serve with pasta or rice: Scampi is traditionally served with pasta or rice. You can use any type of pasta or rice that you like, but some good choices include spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine. If you're serving scampi with rice, be sure to cook it al dente so that it has a slight bite to it.

Conclusion:

Shrimp scampi is a quick and easy seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish for entertaining, as it is elegant and impressive. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
