Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the butter and white wine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combine Shrimp and Sauce:
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Assemble the Bowls:
Divide cooked pasta or rice among serving bowls.
Top with the shrimp scampi and spoon extra sauce over each bowl.
Serve with the garlic bread on the side for dipping.
Serve and Enjoy:
Garnish with extra parsley or a squeeze of lemon, and serve immediately!
Tips:
Customize the Base: Swap pasta for zucchini noodles or quinoa for a lighter option.
Garlic Bread Shortcut: Use store-bought garlic bread for a quicker meal.
Wine Substitute: If not using wine, add a splash of chicken broth and a bit more lemon juice for acidity.
