2. Pour in the wine, add red pepper flakes and bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes or until wine is reduced by 1/2 and the shrimp is cooked through (don't over cook the shrimp).

Personal Notes:
Easy and delicious. Be sure to start the pasta prep time to correlate with finishing the scampi. I personally don't measure the wine, a generous pour of about a cup provides more yummy sauce. Just be sure to adjust spices accordingly.
