Tips:
- Use fresh, succulent shrimp. This is the star ingredient of the dish, so make sure you're using the best quality shrimp you can find.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid. The cooking liquid is what gives the shrimp its flavor, so make sure you use a flavorful broth or stock. You can also add some white wine or lemon juice for extra flavor.
- Don't skimp on the butter. Butter is what gives scampi its rich, creamy texture. So don't be afraid to use a generous amount of butter.
- Serve scampi immediately. Scampi is best served immediately after it's cooked. This is when it's at its most flavorful and delicious.
