Shrimp Scampi
This shrimp scampi recipe looks elegant enough to serve to company, but it’s easy to prepare. The bright flavors of lemon and herbs enhance the shrimp. Serve it over pasta and wait for the compliments. —Lori Packer, Omaha, Nebraska

Very delicious and super easy to convert to Keto friendly! I just didn't add bread crumbs and it was still delicious! I also substituted regular noodles with healthy 0 net carb noodles..and added a little cooking wine. Classic dish, thank you!!
I really like this recipe. Before dinner, my husband said he wasn't very hungry, but then he proceeded to clean his plate. Such good flavor! I will definitely keep this quick and delicious recipe in my toolbox.
Great recipe! I modified slightly... based on other reviews, I added a cup of white wine as the sauce does need a bit more. Also added in thinly sliced red onions. Lastly, did not bother to broil...was fantastic!
I made this to try to make us feel better about having a lonely COVID ( no children or grandchildren) Christmas dinner. It was delicious and so easy. Hubby hates lemon so I just made the garlic butter sauce and used thin spaghetti since we didn’t have angel hair pasta. I will be making this many times!
This is a fantastic recipe. The flavors were so wonderful. The only change we made was adding mushrooms but I can promise I will make this recipe for many years to come!! My husband gave my cooking a 5 star restaurant rating for this recipe!! Enjoy! We also used angle hair pasta.
I made this on a whim after looking for a recipe to used leftover grilled shrimp. It was *amazing*. Hours later, I am still thinking about it. Reading some of the other comments, I thought the amount of lemon was perfect. Tangy, zingy, mouth watering. I'll be making it again. Thank you!!
Very good dish. Followed recipe except mixed pasta in before sprinkling with cheese, bread crumbs and parsley.
Really good! The lemon was a little overwhelming or it would have gotten 5. Next time I''ll use a lighter hand with it.
I made this for a family gathering. I was pleasantly surprised how easy and delicious it was!
Went camping, needed a good scampi recipe for 2lbs. I looked over many. This is the one. Only added 1/4+ white wine WITH lemon juice, and cooked it in a frying pan instead of the broiler. Was absolutely fantastic! Plenty of great flavors. Very easy to make. The zinger here really is the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Adds additional flavor and soaks up all the good stuff. I will be putting this one in my dinner rotation.
