Shrimp Scampi with Linguine

This is one of my all time favorite recipes to make.  Makes 2 servings.
It is a very easy version of shrimp scampi that is so good.
Use fresh ( not frozen ) shrimp and be sure not to over cook it.  It really does take less time than you might think to saute fresh shrimp.
This recipe calles for 12 oz of smaller ( 26-30 size ) shrimp.  I have made it with larger shrimp and it is very good. Point is: Don't worry about the shrimp size...get 12 oz to 1 lb of any size and don't over cook.

As for the wine, our favorite with this recipe is a chardonnay.  Try this one.  You can find it for under $15 dollars at most grocery stores.
