Shrimp Scampi recipe and question

So, I bought shrimp today that were peeled and deveined. I was planning on making tacos the other night, but got invited to friends to watch the games so figured I can do tacos tonight and make shrimp scampi tomorrow. Will the shrimp be ok to wait a day?

Also, any good scampi recipes? I never made it before and seems fairly easy, but wanted to hear your recipe.

Thanks

I've done it.
Keep the in the plastic bag, and put that in a bowl of ice water in your fridge.

Can't help with a scampi recipe. I kind of wing it with garlic, butter, lemon, and wine.

I love shrimp scampi..very easy to make. Here is my go to recipe:

Shrimp Scampi with Linguini (or rice)

YIELD 4 to 6 servings ACTIVE TIME 20 min TOTAL TIME 30 min
INGREDIENTS

1 pound linguini (or you can use rice)
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 large shallot, finely diced
5 cloves garlic, sliced
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
20 large shrimp, about 1 pound, peeled and deveined, tail on
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

For the pasta, put a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When it has come to the boil, add a couple of tablespoons of salt and the linguini. Stir to make sure the pasta separates; cover. When the water returns to a boil, cook for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the pasta is not quite done. Drain the pasta reserving 1 cup of water.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) until the shallots are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add them to the pan and cook until they have turned pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside and keep warm. Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley and cooked pasta and reserved pasta water. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over a bit more olive oil and serve immediately.
