Why I love this recipe
This small batch recipe is ready in just 20 minutes. This dish makes a perfect lunch, dinner, or an impressive and romantic date night meal for two.
This simple scampi is made without wine, but feel free to serve it with a nice glass of wine. Serve this dish with a salad, a side dish, bread, and an appetizer.
Expert tips
For much easier prep, buy frozen shrimp that is already peeled, deveined, and has tails removed. Thaw before using.
Break the linguine in half to make it easier to fit into the saucepan.
To prevent water from boiling over when you cook any pasta, place a wooden spoon on top of the water.
