Expert Tips for Perfect Shrimp Scampi

• Don't Let The Sauce Break: Do not overcook the melted scampi butter by keeping the heat low and constantly stirring it
• Add More Lemon: If you love citrus, feel free to add more lemon juice or even a splash of lemon zest for extra zing.
• Long-Shaped Pasta: This dish serves perfectly over a thin linguine and a spaghetti!
• Bread Is A Must: Always have a loaf of bread to soak up all the scampi sauce. Upgrading to garlic bread is even better!

Shrimp Scampi Variations

• Grill It: Simple grill you shrimp and brush melted scampi butter on top
• Add Vegetables: Toss in some fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, or asparagus for extra flavor and nutrients.
• Gluten-Free Option: Serve the shrimp scampi over gluten-free pasta or zucchini noodles for a low-carb meal.

What to Serve with Shrimp Scampi

Shrimp scampi is delicious on its own but can be paired with several side dishes to round out the meal:

• Wine Pairing – This dish pairs wonderfully with a crisp glass of white wine
• Garlic Bread – Perfect for soaking up the extra sauce.
• Caesar Salad – A crisp, fresh salad is a great contrast to the rich flavors of shrimp scampi.
• Roasted Vegetables – Try roasted broccoli or asparagus for a light, nutritious side.
