THE BEST SHRIMP SCAMPI
A classic menu item from every great Italian-American restaurant, this shrimp scampi hits all the right notes - buttery, lemony, garlicky. We love it for its simplicity and balance of flavor (copious amounts of butter help, too!). But while it looks and tastes fancy, this dish is actually very easy to make. The white wine sauce gets a spicy finish from red pepper flakes, perfect for soaking up with good crusty bread or cooked pasta.

Steps:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet. Add half the shrimp and cook until golden pink, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl. Melt another tablespoon of the butter in the skillet and cook the remaining shrimp.
- Return the skillet to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and let it melt. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the wine and lemon juice. Increase the heat to high and boil the liquid until it thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the parsley. Add the shrimp back to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Transfer to a serving dish and top with more chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread or pasta.

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.
CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI
This is one of those classic dishes that doesn't need anything more. It's always about allowing the subtle sweetness and brininess of the shrimp to coexist peacefully with the garlic and oil. You need some butter to balance the olive oil for the taste of the sauce. You also need canola oil for high-heat cooking of the shrimp. Once these ingredients come together, you will understand. Serve this dish with buttered pasta or loaves of seriously crusty bread. I have also been known to go overboard and make buttery garlic bread on the side.

Steps:
- Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat, then add the panko and cook, stirring constantly, until the breadcrumbs are golden and toasty-scented, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Sprinkle the shrimp on both sides with salt. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the canola oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, quickly arrange the shrimp in a single layer, with a little space between each. Brown the shrimp on their first sides, adding a couple of pieces of the butter around the shrimp to add flavor as they brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the shrimp on their second sides and brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Quickly transfer the shrimp to a plate.
- Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the remaining butter and the garlic to the skillet. Press the garlic into the melting butter to break up any clumps. Add the wine and stir up the brown bits in the bottom of the skillet. Add the Worcestershire, hot sauce and lemon zest. Simmer until the garlic softens and the wine reduces down to a lush sauce, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the parsley and squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the sauce.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle with the red pepper flakes. Toss the shrimp in the sauce to coat well. Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with some more lemon juice and the toasted panko and transfer to a platter.
- Serve with crusty bread, if using.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is just golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp to a plate. Add the wine and lemon juice to the skillet and simmer until slightly reduced, 2 minutes.
- Return the shrimp and any juices from the plate to the skillet along with the linguine, butter and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Continue to cook, tossing, until the butter is melted and the shrimp is hot, about 2 minutes, adding more of the reserved cooking water as needed. Season with salt; stir in the parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

- 2. Scampi butter directions: In a bowl, mix together all ingredients with a wire whisk, until well blended.
- 3. Spaghetti Squash: Slice squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon as you would a pumpkin. Then completely submerge both halves in boiling water and cook for about 25 minutes, or until the inside is fork tender and pulls apart in strands (it is better to undercook if you are not sure). Remove, drain, and cool with cold water or an ice bath to stop the cooking. Then use a fork to scrape the cooked squash out of its skin; at the same time, fluff and separate the squash into spaghetti-like strands. Discard the skin. Note: You can reheat the squash strands by dipping them in boiling water with a strainer just before serving. Cook's note: Spaghetti squash may be used in any recipe that calls for pasta. It is great plain, with butter or with marinara sauce, scampi or even alfredo.
