Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water.
- Choose the right pasta: Shrimp scampi is traditionally served with linguine or angel hair pasta, but you can use any type of pasta that you like.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they are pink and opaque.
- Use a good quality white wine: The white wine that you use in the sauce will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a dry white wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
- Season the sauce to taste: The amount of garlic, salt, and pepper that you add to the sauce will depend on your personal preferences. Taste the sauce as you're cooking it and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Conclusion:
Shrimp scampi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It's also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a shrimp scampi that will impress your friends and family.
