I made this following the recipe exactly. My family thought it completely lacked flavor. Everyone wanted to add different seasonings at the table, some felt it needed more lemon, others wanted more garlic and others wanted more chilies. Fail all around! 😕

Way too much lemon! My bf and i couldnt even eat this after the first bite. What a waste of pasta.

Chef Gordon Ramsay has a much better recipe on this. This used way to much lemon and wine. It should be about 2 tbsp of wine. 1 cup is just way too much

This recipe is really off.  In reviewing other shrimp scampi recipes, the lemon and wine is far less that what is recommended here.  This recipe produced a lot of liquid and I had to use corn starch to thicken.  The overall taste was very lemony.

In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat for about 1 minute. Then add the garlic and let cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Do not let brown! Add the shrimp and lemon zest; season with salt (and red pepper flakes, if desired).

Toss until the shrimp turns pink and opaque in the center, about 2-3 minutes. Add the white wine; toss 1 minute. Add the Carnation Evaporated Milk and stir just until sauce is homogeneous. Let cook for about 1-2 minutes.

Remove pan from the heat, stir in lemon juice. If desired, sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped parsley and/or basil leaves. Serve over pasta, zoodles (keto) or with a hard-crusted bread to soak in the sauce. Enjoy!
