The Best Shrimp Scampi
“A classic menu item from every great Italian-American restaurant, this shrimp scampi hits all the right notes – buttery, lemony, garlicky. We love it for its simplicity and balance of flavor (copious amounts of butter help, too!). But while it looks and tastes fancy, this dish is actually very easy to make. The white wine sauce gets a spicy finish from red pepper flakes, perfect for soaking up with good crusty bread or cooked pasta.“ added 3-23-2024
