Pasta is always a good idea. And pasta with shrimp is an even better idea! This shrimp scampi is light and still indulgent but won’t leave you feeling too heavy and bloated afterwards. It is salty, lemony, and buttery. This is the perfect dish for a warm spring or summer evening with a crisp glass of white wine to sip on. It is also great for making your family or friends think you spent hours making a fancy dish – when in reality this dish takes only about 30 minutes and comes together easily. If you love shrimp, pasta, and wine – this is the perfect dish for you. Don’t worry though, the alcohol in the wine cooks out so this is safe for everyone to eat – well unless you have a selfish allergy, then you might want to steer clear of this dish.
