Ingredients:  
1 Lb of medium shrimp (peel it and remove the vein)
1 Tbsp of pure olive oil (don't use extra virgin oil)
2 Tbsp of finely chopped garlic (you can also use some already prepared chopped garlic from your local grocery store)
1 1/2 cups of white whine (preferably a Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay will work fine)
1/2 cup of fresh lemon (use the juice only)
1/2 a cup of butter (preferably softened)
1 Tbsp of freshly parsley (chop it up fine) Flavor with salt & pepper
1/2 a cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese (if you want to garnish dish)
Directions:
Directions:
Heat a heavy bottomed skillet and then add in the olive oil, and do not allow the oil to smoke. add the shrimp and cook it until tender and it's no longer translucent.

Next remove the shrimp from the pan and decrease heat slightly. Add the garlic and cook it for 2-3 minutes. Try not to brown the garlic as this will render a slightly bitter flavor. Once the garlic is cooked, add the whine wine.

Squeeze some juice from the lemon into the pan, and reduce the wine by half. After it is reduced, next add the Italian seasoning blend.

Now reduce the heat to low, and slowly add in butter. 1 tablespoon at a time. The butter should slowly begin to dissolve into the sauce and create a nice creamy texture. If the pan is too hot the butter will separate.

As soon as the butter is assimilated, add the shrimp back into the sauce, sprinkle the parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve the dish with the garnish of fresh cheese if so desired. For a great accompanying dish to Scampi add fresh pasta.
