Subbed with chicken as I have seafood allergies so tasty
Emma Wheeler
I added broccoli and skipped the squash and zucchini.
Brandon Spencer
Simple and delicious recipe. Hate pealing shri
Tracy Koch
I liked it! It turned out great and my family’s enjoyed it as well!
Kenneth Brooks
Tasted great… my wife said it’s a good summertime meal. I used Rotel tomatoes for just a little kick, with some fresh cherry tomatoes. Added leek and cut down on onions, chicken stock w/slurry to give it just the right amount of sauce.

I was out of butter, so shrimp scampi was out. I searched for shrimp recipes without butter, and this one popped up. It was delicious and healthy. Next time, I may try linguini noodles.

If you were on a keto diet this is perfect with butternut squash instead of noodles. Worked out great
Monica Williams
This turned out excellent! Used extra red pepper as I like the spice and olive oil instead of veg oil, but everything else according to directions.
Gina Gonzales
I think the crushed tomatoes ruined the dish for my family and the spices didn’t do it any justice. Next time, I will use a pasta sauce instead.
Jacob Gomez
I served it for dinner with guests. Everyone really liked it. I didn’t change the recipe. Will maybe try with canned tomatoes the next time, but it was good as is.

I made this last night for a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner. I did change it ever so slightly by adding 1/2 tsp of sugar which mom taught me takes away from the tartness tomatoes can have sometimes. I also added 2 heaping tsp of cornstarch to make the gravy thicken a bit. I loved it though. I’ve saved this one for a repeat.
Matthew Tanner
It was very good just need to cut back on the rigatoni
Michael Watson
I really liked this recipe – exactly what I was looking for. I made it according to the recipe except my tomatoes already had basil in it, so I did not add any additional basil.

This turned out great had a nice kick to it too. The only substitution I made was to use cherry tomatoes and some tomato sauce with a splash of Swanson chicken broth.?? I had garden grown yellow squash and zucchini. Will definitely make this again.
Sean Dickerson
It was great. Didn’t even have a bite to it from the crushed red pepper.
Kathryn Alvarado
I made this for supper but being as I live alone I had to make some adjustments. Instead of green bell peppers I used red and only used zucchini since adding yellow squash would be too much. I also served it over angel hair pasta instead of rigatoni as I prefer it. I also added fresh parsley and an Italian blend cheese for garnish. It is delicious! Definitely one of my favorite go to dinners in the future!

The only change I made was to add one jalapeño, seeded and chopped, in with the veggies… The fish turned out perfectly!
Gabrielle Lewis
This was very yummy!! The combo of veggies was superb. I used great value organic crushed tomatoes with basil. The only thing I did differently was to cook the shrimp separately in a little butter and drain it before adding it to the sauce. My family really liked it ??
