Notes
Tips for prepping the shrimp:
Remove shells by cutting through the center groove of the shrimp shell from head to tail using a knife or single tine of a fork. Now you can easily pull off the shell by hand. Then remove the dark black vein that follows the same center groove using a knife.
For a complete meal, mix and match shrimp scampi with different vegetables and starches. We particularly enjoy shrimp scampi with gluten-free noodles, wok-fried asparagus, caramelized onions, and mushrooms - stay tuned for this recipe on the blog.
