I love shrimp scampi. But sometimes you may not have any fresh herbs or garlic! This easy shrimp recipe uses usual scampi ingredients such as lemon, butter, and white wine, but utilizes items from the pantry for the garlic and herbs. Of course, nothing beats fresh herbs, this easy shrimp recipe is still very delicious with the dried herbs.
