- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

- 6 cloves garlic, minced

- 1/2 cup chicken broth

1. Season shrimp with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and white wine, bring to a simmer. Let it simmer until reduced by half, this should take about 5 minutes.

4. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and butter. Cook until the butter has melted, stirring occasionally.

Cooking Tips:

- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. The bottled kind just doesn't compare.

- Do not overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. They only need a couple of minutes on each side.

- Pair this scampi with pasta or crusty bread to soak up all of the delicious sauce.

Unique Twist:

- For a spicy kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce. 

- If you're trying to cut back on carbs, serve this over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice."
