Notes
Shrimp scampi is best served hot, right from the skillet. Don’t forget to provide some crusty bread on the side to soak up the delicious buttery sauce. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, do so gently on the stovetop or in the microwave to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
