SHRIMP SCAMPI

  • Preparation is Key: This recipe moves quickly, so have all your ingredients prepped and within reach before you start cooking.
  • Quality Ingredients: Use wild-caught shrimp if available, as they are tastier and healthier. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese also makes a significant difference in flavor.
  • Pasta Variations: You can substitute fettuccine or linguine for the pasta. For a low-carb option, consider using zoodles (zucchini noodles) or spaghetti squash.
  • Cooking Shrimp: Shrimp cook very quickly. They are done when they turn pink and opaque and curl into a “C” shape. Avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming tough and rubbery.
  • Garlic Timing: Garlic can become bitter if cooked too long, so it’s added towards the end of the recipe to retain its flavor.
  • Wine Alternatives: Use a dry white wine like Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, or Sauvignon Blanc. If you prefer not to cook with wine, chicken broth is a suitable substitute.
