I love seafood, especially shrimp. Shrimp scampi is one of my go to meals. It works well as an appetizer or entree, for a casual weeknight meal or a romantic dinner for two. You can serve it with salad, pasta, potatoes, or even roasted bread. And the best part is, it’s really simple to make. Enough talking about it. Let’s get cooking.
