Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until nearly tender, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels, leaving about 1 1/2 tablespoons grease in the skillet.
- Add garlic to hot grease and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Cook until just cooked through and pink, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Pour chicken broth into the hot skillet, and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream, and bring to a simmer, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, whisk in Parmesan cheese, and cook until sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes.
- Drain spaghetti, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- Return shrimp and bacon to the skillet and simmer until heated through, about 1 minute. Add spaghetti and toss all ingredients together. Whisk in some of the reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick. Season with salt and pepper.

SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH ANGEL HAIR PASTA
This is always a hit. The best part is how fast you can whip it up! You could just buy roasted tomatoes in a jar, but I think roasting them yourself gives the dish a very fresh, deep flavor.

SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH TOMATOES, PASTA, AND ROASTED ASPARAGUS
This is a great date night meal! It will make a ton of leftovers, so you can send some home with your boo. I make this with a decent bottle of Sauvignon Blanc because the acidity in the wine pairs well with the lemon juice and the fresh cut grass-like aromas of the asparagus. Chill the rest of the bottle and have it with your meal! Remember to always use a wine that you enjoy the flavor of by itself if you're going to cook with it because the food takes on the flavor of the wine.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Use a large skillet or sauté pan so the shrimp and pasta have plenty of room to cook.
- Do not overcrowd the pan. If you are cooking a lot of shrimp, cook them in batches.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque and pink. Do not overcook them, or they will become tough.
- Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will work well.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little bit of heat.
- Serve the shrimp scampi over pasta, rice, or your favorite side dish.
Conclusion:
Shrimp scampi is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great dish to serve for company. The combination of shrimp, garlic, butter, and white wine is always a winner. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy seafood dish, give shrimp scampi a try.
