"This is a good example of how Italian American restaurant cooks adapt a basic Italian food idea. Scampi is a Venetian dialect word for a local prawn, rarely found in American markets. So Italian American cooks use shrimp instead, cooking it with a little garlic." -John Mariani
    2 teaspoons  olive oil
    28 large  shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 1 1/2 pounds)
    3  garlic cloves, minced
    1/3 cup  Sauvignon Blanc or other dry white wine
    1/2 teaspoon  salt
    1/4 teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
    1/4 cup  chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
    1 tablespoon  fresh lemon juice

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; sauté 1 minute. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Stir in wine, salt, and pepper; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook 30 seconds. Add parsley and juice; toss well to coat. Cook 1 minute or until shrimp are done.
