CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI
Scampi are tiny, lobster-like crustaceans with pale pink shells (also called langoustines). Italian cooks in the United States swapped shrimp for scampi, but kept both names. Thus the dish was born, along with inevitable variations. This classic recipe makes a simple garlic, white wine and butter sauce that goes well with a pile of pasta or with a hunk of crusty bread. However you make the dish, once the shrimp are added to the pan, the trick is to cook them just long enough that they turn pink all over, but not until their bodies curl into rounds with the texture of tires.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly. Dredge shrimp in flour mixture.
- In a large skillet, saute dredged shrimp in olive oil for 5 minutes over high heat. Toss shrimp often to prevent burning. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a serving dish, leaving the oil in the pan.
- In the same pan, saute the garlic, shallot, parsley and oregano over medium heat for 3 minutes; stirring constantly. Spoon the mixture over the shrimp. Return pan to the heat. Preheat your broiler for medium heat.
- Pour the wine and brandy into the skillet and ignite with a match or lighter. When the flames die down, stir to loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet; pour over shrimp.
- Place the serving dish of shrimp in a preheated broiler for about 2 minutes.

THE BEST SHRIMP SCAMPI
A classic menu item from every great Italian-American restaurant, this shrimp scampi hits all the right notes - buttery, lemony, garlicky. We love it for its simplicity and balance of flavor (copious amounts of butter help, too!). But while it looks and tastes fancy, this dish is actually very easy to make. The white wine sauce gets a spicy finish from red pepper flakes, perfect for soaking up with good crusty bread or cooked pasta.

Steps:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet. Add half the shrimp and cook until golden pink, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl. Melt another tablespoon of the butter in the skillet and cook the remaining shrimp.
- Return the skillet to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and let it melt. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the wine and lemon juice. Increase the heat to high and boil the liquid until it thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the parsley. Add the shrimp back to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Transfer to a serving dish and top with more chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread or pasta.
