CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI
Scampi are tiny, lobster-like crustaceans with pale pink shells (also called langoustines). Italian cooks in the United States swapped shrimp for scampi, but kept both names. Thus the dish was born, along with inevitable variations. This classic recipe makes a simple garlic, white wine and butter sauce that goes well with a pile of pasta or with a hunk of crusty bread. However you make the dish, once the shrimp are added to the pan, the trick is to cook them just long enough that they turn pink all over, but not until their bodies curl into rounds with the texture of tires.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- To devein the shrimp, use a small, sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp. Remove the dark vein that runs through the center of the shrimp.
- Use a large skillet or saucepan to cook the shrimp. This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcrowding and sticking to the pan.
- Cook the shrimp over medium heat. This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.

- Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish the pasta with fresh parsley or basil before serving.
