This is my go to recipe for shrimp scampi. Thin noodles are perfect for this recipe.
Thanks!
I made this recipe this evening and loved it, however I made some alterations. I didn’t add the white wine or tabasco sauce, and I traded the parsley for chives. I only used one lemon and I already had 2 tablespoons of garlic butter so I used that. It was very good and I will make it again.
After reading reviews, I doubled the sauce with only one lemon & added capers with seasoned salt for my family’s tastes. Tasted great! What I love about Ree is her fun approach to cooking with suggestions to adjust to our personal preferences. Thx Ree for keeping it casual!
Shrimp does NOT simmer! It is cooked as soon as ot is opaque. Needs less lemon, and more salt. This recipe is awful..actually.
Made this recipe did find it to be somewhat bland. I will say I did not use a lot of salt. I usually prefer to flavor my dishes with other spices other that salt. maybe if I’d gone with more salt it would of been better.
My husband and I make this often. LOVE! Since we are diabetics we use zucchini noodles.
Very good wife said the lemon was a little overwhelming I thought it was good
So delicious! So easy! Added some red pepper flakes for some added zing. Always love a dish I can pull together in less than 30 minutes!!
Made this tonight, 12-28-2021, and I can say this is wonderful. My wife likes lemon flavor, but not a ton or over bearing, so I backed the lemon off to 1, and it was still amazing. Served it with some baguettes!! Great dinner and worth making!
This dish was excellent. I didn’t have angel hair pasta, so I substituted linguine and I added a few red pepper flakes. My husband raved.
