Tips:

Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your scampi the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will work in a pinch.
Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
Use a good quality white wine: The white wine you use in your scampi will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a dry white wine that you enjoy drinking.
Don't be afraid to add some spice: A little bit of spice can really brighten up your scampi. Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper.
Serve your scampi immediately: Scampi is best served immediately after it's cooked. The shrimp will be at its most tender and the sauce will be at its most flavorful.

Conclusion:

Microwave shrimp scampi is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's perfect for two. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with white wine, garlic, butter, and lemon juice. Serve it over pasta or rice, or simply with a side of bread.
