Quick Shrimp Scampi

Many scampi recipes involve cooking the shrimp with the other ingredients. You can do that here, too, but the benefit of cooking the shrimp separately is twofold: it's easier not to overcook them, and you can whisk in the butter to create a smooth, emulsified sauce.

  • 1 ½ pounds (680 g) large shrimp, peeled, deveined and patted dry
