Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use a different pasta instead of linguine?

Can I make shrimp scampi without wine?
Absolutely. You can substitute the white wine with chicken broth or vegetable broth for a non-alcoholic option.
How can I add more flavor to the scampi?
To boost the flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat, extra lemon zest for brightness, or even a touch of grated Parmesan cheese for richness.
