Shrimp Scampi is an Italian-American creation, drawing inspiration from the Italian dish 'Scampi alla Busara'. 'Scampi' in Italian refers to Norway Lobster (Nephrops norvegicus). As Norway Lobsters were less accessible in the US, shrimp became the substitute. The dish evolved blending Italian cooking techniques with readily available American ingredients.

The dominant flavors are garlic and butter, providing a rich and savory base. White wine adds acidity and depth, while lemon juice contributes a bright, tangy counterpoint. The shrimp itself offers a sweet, delicate flavor, complemented by the herbaceousness of parsley. Red pepper flakes, if used, add a touch of heat.

Don't Overcook the Shrimp
Overcooked shrimp become rubbery. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Use Good Quality Ingredients
Fresh shrimp, real butter, good quality white wine, and fresh lemon juice will make a significant difference in the flavor.
Emulsify the Sauce
Whisk the butter and wine sauce vigorously to emulsify it, creating a creamy and cohesive sauce that coats the shrimp evenly. A knob of cold butter at the end can enhance this.
Garlic Control
Be careful not to burn the garlic. Burnt garlic is bitter and ruins the dish. Sauté it gently over medium-low heat.
