Easy Shrimp Scampi

This easy Shrimp Scampi is one of my favorite 20 minute recipes.  It’s easy enough for a busy weeknight but fancy enough to serve to company.

Do you have one of those go-to meals that you ALWAYS order when you go to a restaurant?  My husband does.

His go-to meal is shrimp scampi.  He orders it whenever we are at a restaurant that offers it.  I think he uses it as a baseline to determine if the restaurant is up to snuff.

If we’re at a seafood place, he orders shrimp scampi.  If we’re at a steak place, shrimp scampi.  It’s his go-to dish.

So of course I have to have a good shrimp scampi recipe that I can make at home.

This recipe is one of my favorite seafood recipes.  I love it because the shrimp is succulent and tender and the sauce…well that’s pure perfection.

I love the bright, garlicky sauce.  It’s perfect for a big old hunk of crusty Italian bread.  I usually double the sauce portion of the recipe so we can have plenty to sop up at the end.

This recipe is also my go-to Christmas Eve dinner.  I like it because I can easily make a big batch in no time in my biggest skillet.  This way, I’m not spending my time in the kitchen cooking instead of with my guests.

I always have shrimp in the freezer ready for this easy recipe.  It’s definitely a keeper!
