Welcome to the board. I'd think that a Sauvignon Blanc would work with the garlic and lemon elements in the dish. Maybe a herbacious one, like a New Zealand SB. Look on the thread below for options, but Kim Crawford is pretty widely available. I'm sure others will have more options, perhaps in the way of an Italian white.

I would default to Tommasi Pinot Grigio, unless there's a red marinara sauce involved, in which case a medium-weight red might be in order. Have used both Barolo and Barbaresco in such cases. Tommasi is about $11 and I've had the B&B's in the $10-$20 range, although they can go much higher.

Hotwine, you'd do a Barolo with a reddened scampi? Ain't that like going to a knife fight with a grenade launcher?

Sumthin' like that WD. Just not quite so up close and personal.
