  3. Add minced garlic and sliced onions to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until onions are softened and translucent.
  4. Pour in white wine and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.
  5. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  6. Stir in butter until melted and creamy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Reduce heat to low and keep warm while the pasta finishes cooking.
  8. Drain pasta and add it to the skillet with the shrimp scampi. Toss to combine.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
