Hi Meghan. I made the shrimp scampi with white wine tonight. I followed your instructions to the tee. It was a hit and my family loved it. Delicious recipe! Thanks

I just made this recipe with some modifications due to my resources. I had fresh parsley and a Hungarian hot pepper in our garden. I chopped up both, removing the seeds from the pepper, and a medium red onion individually. I used pink sea salt in place of the Kosher salt. And, the only white wine I had, unfortunately, was cooking wine. I doubled the recipe and had to saute the shrimp about 10 minutes longer, but I am very pleased with the result. I made these notations on my printout. I will definitely make this, again.

i make shrimp scampi too. I leave the pepper flakes off though. I make mine just like your. Please allow me to give you another tip as a variation on this scampi. Add a can of diced tomatoes. I had a scampi with the tomatoes in it years ago and absolutely fell in love with the taste. I serve it with rotini pasta and a crusty bread for dipping. Its to die for. I use the same recipe using chunks of chicken. I serve it with either rice pilaf or the rotini pasta. Same can be done with the shrimp.
