Shrimp Scampi

When I cook for someone else in my household, meals are delicious and balanced. They involve protein, starch and vegetables. However, when my boyfriend is out of town for work and I am by myself for a few days, my meals are not balanced. On those days, my meals consist of celery and peanut butter, or a pound of shellfish and half a bottle of wine. My favorite option is shrimp scampi. There is no easier recipe
