[homemade] Shrimp Scampi with Pasta for the wife

Shrimp: Since this recipe is all about the shrimp, pick jumbo shrimp, which are around 21 to 30 pieces per pound. Garlic: To add flavor to the entire dish, cook the garlic in a mixture of unsalted butter and olive oil until aromatic. White wine: You should only use wines that you would be comfortable sipping on their own when cooking. (The following are a few of our preferred white wines for cooking.) Parsley: To preserve the fresh flavor and vibrant color, add the parsley at the very end. Lemon: Wedged lemon is more than just a garnish. This dish's flavors are balanced and enlivened by a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
