Shrimp scampi is built on timing and restraint. The shrimp cook quickly, the garlic stays fragrant rather than browned, and the sauce comes together smoothly in the same pan. The result is juicy shrimp coated in a glossy, lemony butter sauce that works beautifully with pasta, bread, or even on its own.
