Steps:
- Put the breadcrumbs in a skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of the garlic and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Cook, stirring, until the crumbs are toasted and caramelized, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
- In a saute pan large enough to comfortably fit the shrimp in 1 layer, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook, without moving the shrimp, until caramelized on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp over and cook for another 2 minutes; remove from the pan.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the white wine and remaining 2 tablespoons garlic and cook for 1 minute. Return the shrimp to the pan. Add the Worcestershire, lemon zest and juice and remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Cook, simmering, until the liquid thickens.
- Add the pasta to the pan if using and additional salt if necessary. Transfer to serving bowls and top with the toasted breadcrumbs and parsley. Serve with garlic bread if desired.

EXTRA GARLICKY SHRIMP SCAMPI
Shrimp are sooo good with lots of garlic! You can serve this with pasta, if that's what you like. We like it served with huge chunks of hot, French bread for dipping.

Steps:
- Preheat grill for high heat In a large bowl, mix together softened butter, olive oil, garlic, shallots, chives, salt, pepper and paprika; add the shrimp and toss to coat. Lightly oil grill grate. Cook the shrimp as close to the flame as possible for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a briny, sweet flavor and a firm texture. Avoid shrimp that is frozen or has a slimy texture.
- Clean the shrimp properly: Devein the shrimp and remove the shells. If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Use a large skillet: This will help the shrimp to cook evenly and prevent overcrowding.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the shrimp will steam instead of sautéing and will not brown properly.
- Cook the shrimp in batches: If you are cooking a lot of shrimp, cook it in batches to prevent overcrowding.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Use a sauce that is packed with flavor and that complements the shrimp.
- Serve immediately: Shrimp scampi is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp will lose its flavor and texture if it is allowed to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Shrimp scampi is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish for entertaining guests. With its flavorful sauce and succulent shrimp, shrimp scampi is sure to be a hit.
