Shrimp Scampi is a delightful dish that brings a touch of coastal elegance to our Midwestern home. It’s inspired by the famous Red Lobster version, known for its garlic butter sauce and tender shrimp. This recipe is perfect for a special family dinner or when you want to treat your loved ones to something extraordinary.
Shrimp Scampi pairs wonderfully with fresh, warm garlic bread to soak up the buttery sauce. A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette also complements the richness of the dish. For a heartier meal, serve it over a bed of al dente linguine or angel hair pasta.
