Succulent shrimp tossed in a garlicky butter sauce with white wine and lemon—shrimp scampi is one of those simple dishes that always feels a little special. It’s often served over pasta, but in many versions, the pasta gets left behind, with not nearly enough sauce or flavor. In this one, the shrimp and pasta share the spotlight. You can use any long pasta, but I love angel hair or capellini—the delicate strands soak up the sauce so every bite is full of garlicky goodness.
