Notes
- *If you prefer a less spicy dish, you may want to start with less of red pepper flakes.
- Buy peeled and deveined shrimp to save prep.
- The shrimp look pretty with the tails on, perfect if serving as an appetizer. If serving over pasta, choose shrimp without tails.
- The ingredients (including the garlic) can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. The dish takes just minutes to come together.
- If serving as an appetizer, include crusty bread or crostini for sopping up the scampi sauce.
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. It is not recommended to freeze because it will alter the texture of the srhimp.
