So to start making the shrimp scampi, first of all, you need the shrimp or prawns, of course, and then you need some olive oil, garlic, white wine, lemon, butter, parsley, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese. You basically then sear the shrimp, and saut� the garlic and herbs and everything else and then add the shrimp back in. The procedure so easy to understand as well since there are only eight steps to follow, so you can completely handle it all on your own.
