3 Tips for Cooking Shrimp Scampi
1.Use high-quality butter:Since butter is a prominent flavor in shrimp scampi, using high-quality butter will enhance the overall taste of the dish.
2.Add white wine for depth: While optional, white wine adds depth of flavor to the dish. Choose a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
3.Balance acidity with lemon juice: Lemon juice adds brightness and acidity to shrimp scampi. Adjust the amount to your taste preference, but typically 2 tablespoons is a good starting point.
