Shrimp scampi is a seafood recipe seasoned and cooked in butter or oil, garlic, and wine. You can substitute cooking wine, non-alcoholic wine, or broth. I used broth, but you can whichever one you like. If you use a cooking wine, ensure it is reduced to cook off the taste.
Shrimp scampi can be served with crusty bread, linguine pasta, rice, or eaten as is. It is a quick dish with very few ingredients to make it. Ensure you don’t overcook the shrimp; it takes just a few minutes to cook. If you want other shrimp recipes, make sure to search the blog.

In a skillet/pan, melt butter and saute the onion for a couple of minutes until it soft. Add the minced garlic and stir for a couple of minutes and make sure you don’t burn it.
