Light, lemony, and garlicky, this classic shrimp scampi pulls double duty as both an easy weeknight meal or dinner party-worthy centerpiece. Tender shrimp is sauteed in a simple sauce of white wine, butter, and garlic, with red pepper flakes and cayenne for an extra kick. Serve alone, atop al dente pasta, or with crusty bread.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
