Required Kitchen Tools
Cooking shrimp scampi is easy, but having the right tools makes it even more enjoyable. Here's what I recommend:
- Sauté Pan or Skillet – A wide, heavy-bottomed pan ensures the shrimp cook evenly and develop that golden garlic flavor.
- Sharp Knife & Cutting Board – For prepping the shrimp and chopping the garlic.
- Mixing Bowl with Lid – Perfect for marinating the shrimp with butter, garlic, and spices.
- Wooden Spoon or Spatula – For stirring the shrimp while they cook without breaking them apart.
- Serving Plate or Shallow Bowl – To plate the shrimp scampi beautifully with rice and sauce.
