Looking for a quick and easy recipe for tonight's dinner? One that doesn't break the bank, tastes fabulous, and is elegant enough for a dinner party?

Look no further than this quick, easy, oh-so-flavorful shrimp scampi recipe.

Shrimp scampi over noodles on white plate

The thyme, paprika, garlic, lemon, butter, and white wine combine to add depths of flavor that will have you smacking your lips in amazement.

Yeah ... my boys thought that was a weird description ... but hey ... they loved this scampi recipe and thought it almost tasted cheesy.

But there's no cheese here - just lots of layered flavors of awesomeness.

Cooked shrimp with long noodles

The paprika adds flavor and a nice red tone to the dish, while the white wine reduces down nicely to give an unmatched depth of flavor that you just can't get with broth.

So if you're thinking of substituting chicken broth or stock with the wine - go right ahead - but I must say it's much better with the wine.
