How to Make Awesome and Easy Shrimp Scampi

Make scrumptious Shrimp Scampi just like a restaurant. Turns dinner into a special meal and best of all, its quick and easy to make. Enjoy!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1/2 lb. peeled and deveined shrimp
• 1 stick of butter
• 6 oz. white wine
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 package of linguine
• Medium skillet
• 2 quart saucepan
• Broad knife for pressing garlic

1. First you will need to prepare the garlic for cooking. I find the easiest method is to lay the garlic on a hard surface and taking a broad knife, lay the flat edge on top of the garlic and press down hard. Voila, the garlic is peeled! Put on a pan of water to boil for the linguine.

2. Next melt the butter in skillet over medium heat, while that is going on, chop the garlic either fine or coarse to your preference, I prefer coarse myself.

3. Once the butter is all melted, sauté the garlic until fragrant. Personally, by this point I am salivating as it smells so good. When water is boiling, add noodles and cook until just done. Strain and put into a bowl

Tips & Warnings

• Add the wine and let cook down a bit until most of the liquid has evaporated. Now add the shrimp and cook until pink. Be careful not to overcook as they will get tough. Now that everything is cooked, toss shrimp and sauce with noodles. Chances are you won't have to tell anyone dinner is ready as they have probably smelled this and are already waiting.
