Steps:
- Put the breadcrumbs in a skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of the garlic and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Cook, stirring, until the crumbs are toasted and caramelized, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
- In a saute pan large enough to comfortably fit the shrimp in 1 layer, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook, without moving the shrimp, until caramelized on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp over and cook for another 2 minutes; remove from the pan.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the white wine and remaining 2 tablespoons garlic and cook for 1 minute. Return the shrimp to the pan. Add the Worcestershire, lemon zest and juice and remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Cook, simmering, until the liquid thickens.
- Add the pasta to the pan if using and additional salt if necessary. Transfer to serving bowls and top with the toasted breadcrumbs and parsley. Serve with garlic bread if desired.

EXTRA GARLICKY SHRIMP SCAMPI
Shrimp are sooo good with lots of garlic! You can serve this with pasta, if that's what you like. We like it served with huge chunks of hot, French bread for dipping.

GARLICKY LEMONY SHRIMP SCAMPI
An Italian-American classic, these garlicky and wine-bathed beauties can be prepared quickly in your kitchen. Many cooks serve them over pasta or with a side of crusty bread, and either would make a great meal. Don't skimp on the shrimp size: use at least 21 to 25 (shrimp per pound [454 g]) or even jumbos (10 to 15 shrimp per pound [454 g]) because small shrimp cook too fast and don't have that plump, crisp texture. The key to this dish is to get that pan smoking hot before you start and to work fast. Mise en place is important, so have all your items prepped to keep up with the speed of the heat.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. You want the pan hot but not smoking hot; you can add a few drops of water to see if they sear and evaporate immediately. Swirl in the butter and olive oil until the butter melts and the pan smokes lightly. Toss in the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Carefully pour in the wine and cook, swirling, until reduced by half, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Season with salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper.
- Add the shrimp, constantly tossing until they just turn from translucent to slightly opaque or pink, 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the size. Add the lemon juice and parsley. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you must use frozen shrimp, thaw them properly before cooking.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in shrimp scampi, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice.
- Don't be afraid to add garlic. This recipe calls for a lot of garlic, but you can adjust the amount to your liking. If you love garlic, feel free to add even more.
- Serve with pasta or rice. Shrimp scampi is traditionally served with pasta, but it can also be served with rice or your favorite side dish.

This extra garlicky shrimp scampi is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's sure to please everyone at the table. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with garlic, butter, white wine, and lemon juice. Served over pasta or rice, this dish is sure to become a family favorite.
