Selecting the Perfect Ingredients for Shrimp Scampi
Crafting this delectable pasta dish quickly relies on choosing the finest ingredients. Here’s my breakdown of each essential component:
Wine
For optimal taste, opt for a crisp and dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc. The wine’s acidity enhances the flavors of the shrimp and complements the richness of the cheese and heavy whipping cream (if used). While you can find affordable Sauvignon Blanc at the market, consider selecting a bottle you genuinely enjoy sipping on its own. Treat yourself to a chilled glass with the leftovers—because you deserve it
Shrimp
It’s always best to go fresh! If you can, go to the fish market. If not, the frozen variety are just fine. Keep in mind that frozen shrimp come in both cooked and uncooked varieties. Pay attention to the packaging so you don’t accidentally overcook already cooked shrimp! You can tell when shrimp is cooked because it turns a pink-orange color.
Herbs
While it might be tempting to garnish your pasta with a dried herb from your cupboard, opt for the fresh stuff. Grab a bundle of parsley or basil. Chop it roughly and sprinkle it on top of your pasta right before serving. This will add a beautiful pop of color and flavor!
