Expert Tips

Saute the onion first and then the garlic so that the garlic does not overcook.
Peel and clean the shrimps before cooking, and remove the tails according to your preference.
Cook the shrimp until they turn pink. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as overcooking them damages their tissues and makes them tough and rubbery.
Shrimp scampi stays fresh for about 2 days when properly stored in airtight containers and refrigerated. Scampi can also be frozen in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 2 months and thawed overnight in the refrigerator before being ready to be consumed.
