This was fantastic! I used 2 pounds of shrimp instead of one. I cleaned the shrimp and simmered the shells in 1 cup of water to use in place of the pasta water. I didn't have a shallot so I used a small onion and I only used 1/2 tsp. of crushed red pepper. I added the salt and pepper to the shrimp while they were cooking. My DS gave this 10 stars. This is a definite keeper. Thanks for a super recipe!!

This is THE best shrimp scampi I have ever had, by far! For white wine I used my favorite pinot grigio that I always have on hand, and I left out the red pepper flakes. I topped the dish off with a little drizzle of olive oil, some sprinkled parsley, and a little sprinkled parmesan cheese. I come from a long line of authentic italian cooks so I've had my share of shrimp scampi dishes. This recipe truly is the ultimate! YUM!
