This classic shrimp scampi recipe is sometimes called Gilroy garlic shrimp, after Gilroy, California, known as the "Garlic Capital of the World." It's a simple, garlicky classic that takes just a few minutes to prepare.
"Very quick recipe to toss with pasta, top on sourdough bread or just serve as is. You can definitely taste the garlic but it's not overpowering, and the butter gives it a creamy texture. Overall, it's a recipe that I'll absolutely try again." —Tara Omidvar

Recipe Variation
Make Garlic Shrimp Pasta:
Boil 12 ounces pasta, such as linguine or spaghetti, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and drain the pasta. Make garlic shrimp, adding the cooked pasta and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water to the skillet along with the butter in step 7. Toss together until the butter has melted and the shrimp is cooked through. Add more pasta water if it's too dry. Finish with the herbs, lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy! Serves 4.
