Shrimp scampi is an Italian-restaurant favorite made right in a skillet. Serve these succulent shrimp over a bed of hot fettuccine or angel hair pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired. Shrimp are sold according to the number of shrimp per pound. A good size shrimp for scampi is 20 to 25 per pound. Very large shrimp tend to be tough and less flavorful. Frozen shrimp should be thawed slowly in the refrigerator just before cooking.
