Cooking shrimp scampi takes less than a half hour and requires minimal culinary experience. Ingredients are simple and easy to obtain. In fact, most of them can be found in any household so shopping should be a snap. Depending on the cost of the shrimp it is a very inexpensive dish to make.

Shrimp are typically sold by “count”, which is a reference to size. The count is the approximate number of shrimp it would take to make a pound. For example, there would be 20 shrimp in one pound of 20 count shrimp. Generally speaking, the lower the count, the larger the shrimp, the higher the cost will be. Shrimp scampi can be made with any size shrimp.

Typical shrimp scampi recipes involve little more than shrimp, butter and garlic. Salt, pepper and fresh parsley are other common seasonings. A good recipe should involve lemon juice somewhere along the way. Shrimp can be placed on toothpicks and served as hors d’oeuvres, left in the butter mixture as a delicious side dish or served over pasta.
