I love this shrimp scampi pasta recipe! Buttery, zesty and so satisfying… If you want to add more lemon wine butter and garlic to this recipe I certainly won’t stop you!
I love using spaghetti but if you want to sub in your favorite pasta to make linguini shrimp scampi for example then go ahead! If you’d like to try making your own pasta from scratch
ABOUT THE SHRIMP
I bought some super-fresh jumbo shrimp to make this dish and they made all the difference! Don’t use frozen precooked shrimp to make this recipe, the taste and texture will be subpar.
Cleaning, or deveining shrimp can seem a bit intimidating so I wanted to go over the process.
Start by removing the shell. You can peel it off from the bottom where the little swimmeretes are.
Once the shell is removed use a small knife to make a roughly 1/4″ deep cut down the top of the shrimp.
Now you should be able to see a small vein which you can pull out using your fingers.
That’s it! If you’re having difficulty you can cut a bit deeper and use a knife to help remove the “vein” which is actually the shrimp’s digestive tract.

As much garlic humanly possible, Probably around 6 cloves.
You can also add red pepper flakes for a little added spice
Me and my wife use an overwhelmingly amount of garlic. Soo much so,we don't even taste it in your food anymore.
I quadruple the garlic and larger than you cut them maybe one clove and 4 a large one and I salte them first get them nice and soft and I throw the rest then onions so they all cook evenly but I do miss the hell out of a quarter of a purple onion to 2 lb of and a quarter of a small yellow onion also they get cooked evenly that way
I saved the pill and boil them in a chicken broth with water and then I'll throw eggshells tablespoon of garlic salt and garlic powder and a tad of cracked pepper
Basically adding a shrimp stock is the best
Oh you got to try doing it with a shrimp stock and clarified butter the best adds flavor I like to see you do a video that way you're pretty cool
Greek spinach pie my favorite I make it like they making the mountains in Greece very old way make my own do e. Scallions onions fresh dill egg. Mixed with feta cheese 10 boxes of throws and spinach got2b Birdseye wow must go shopping today I got to make it and I'm sure I left out a few things of coarse salt and pepper to taste and making the own do is the best to fillo doe and a quarter bottle of olive oil for the 20 inch by 3 inch pie pan the square one like 20 in by 20 in 3 inches high that is the bomb of a recipe at one point I lost my mom's recipe book I had to learn by making it a few times second-time got better the third time was a charm I make the best spinach pie over my stepfather was Greek. My mother learned by her sister-in-law's they made it several times and then my mother came up with an idea and everybody always fought over the spinach pie they would be out the table and they would grab another piece in a napkin and put it on their chair so that they know they can have seconds LOL
cooked pasta with cooked shrimp on it, no sauce? Just dry ass pasta? Go back to school dude
I make my shrimp (Scampi) and pasta dish like you do. I love garlic but I don’t overwhelm the dish with too much garlic. I like to add some heat (red pepper flakes or Calabrian chili peppers sliced). Love some fresh lemon juice in the sauce and I add about a cup or so if a good fry white wine (I like Pinot Grigio and also find that a good Prosecco can work well). Not overcooking the shrimp is critical. Plenty of fresh flat leaf Italian Parsley mixed at the end. I like the dish either with egg Fettucini or Penne.
I use a fine olive oil as well as unsalted butter in making the sauce …. One of my favorite dishes.
On the shrimp definitely go with wild caught vs. farmed if possible. You can also incorporate some good sea scallops into the dish if desired.
Yummy ❤❤
Add the pasta to the sauce in the skillet and toss. It will pick up the flavors of the sauce.
If a recipe calls for 3 cloves of garlic, I’ll double that.
It's so good but can I eat it with pizza 🎉
I destroy with garlic.
Quadruple
After chopping add a little salt or while chopping add a little salt. Let it sit. This draws out the oils in the garlic!
Quad Shrimp It
NEVER too much garlic!
Ohhh we love garlic, so I add more. 🙂
I refuse to admit that I just spent 7+ minutes watching YOU. 🙁
I thought recipes always state garlic in 1/4x quantities. Must be so that they don't spread the embarrassment of the real amount, fear of bad breath nay sayers I say.
They must, because if you use the x4 transformation, it usually works out correct.
Follow ur heart the garlic will follow
I'm not a wine drinker but would love to make this. Can you (or anyone that reads this) suggest a brand or type of wine? I have no clue what a dry wine is. Thank you in advance.
Awesome! By the way, your counter tops caught my eyes. Nice touch of the grey. Thank you for the video.
I’m gonna try this recipe for tmw’s lunch and will let you know how it come out
I love garlic. I dont measure it I use how much I feel like using
cambia mestiere
Most people never do this but there is another digestive tract on the bottom of the shrimp as well. I remove the tract from the top and the bottom. That’s how you make sure the shrimp is actually completely clean.
why you killed the pasta?
I over garlic always
Is there is any substitute to the white wine
I triple my garlic!!!
Quadruple that garlic! 🙂
Well John i use 2 large cloves just for my scrambled eggs so do you think i follow the garlic amount?
I always add more garlic than is called for. It’s the law. 😂
My mother does this recipe but she serves it with a whisky sauce that she makes. It's delicious
Quadruple
Where is the sauce?
😂i add a lot of garlic
I don’t have a clue what I just rated but my finger hit it without reading them all lol. Great video m, thank you
Definitely pour liquid from the pan over the pasta, or stir pasta into that pan befor serving 👍🏼😊
I just absolutely love all your recipes. My son cook this recipe this noon my whole family love it. Thank you very much.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️😍🧑🍳
I use a shit load of garlic in whatever I make.
Very good recipe – the family enjoyed it : )
Just looking for a new way. I love garlic. I take a foil meat loaf pan . Cover the bottom with garlic put a layer of shrimp another layer of garlic several pats of butter followed by another layer of shrimp covered with more garlic and butter. Put that at one end of the grill put the cast-iron pan in center of grill. While everything is heating up I cook the angel hair pasta. By the time the pasta is done the shrimp are floating in melted bubbling butter. Dump pasta in pan dump the shrimp and melted butter over the pasta toss it a few times and serve.
