The ingredients for Simple Shrimp Scampi are:

6 oz Barilla angel hair pasta (3 servings)
4 cloves of garlic, minced
3 green onions, finely chopped, white and green portions
(Can substitute 1/3 of a yellow onion)
3/4 cup white wine
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
18 shrimp, peeled and deveined, pre-cooked and thawed to room temperature, tails removed

Spices to taste:
Red pepper
Paprika
Lemon Pepper
Oregano

Here is how you make Simple Shrimp Scampi:

Bring water to boil for pasta. As water is heating up, finely chop garlic and onion. Prep the shrimp. I used pre-cooked, peeled and deveined shrimp, and removed the tails. Once water is almost boiling, place butter and olive oil in a large skillet at medium heat. As butter starts to melt, add the minced onion and garlic. When onions are translucent, add shrimp and stir. (If you use raw shrimp, you will need to cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until shrimp is completely pink). Meanwhile, water should now be boiling. Add angel hair pasta and set a timer for 6 minutes. Return to the shrimp. Add all spices. I was unable to enter here, but I also used 3 tbsp of red pepper. Any italian themed spices will work. Mix spices into the shrimp-butter-garlic mixture, then add the white wine. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Check pasta when timer goes off. If pasta is ready, use tongs to add directly to skillet. You want a few tablespoons of pasta water to mix in. Use tongs to coat pasta in sauce mixture.
