If you love shrimp scampi (and who doesn't?), look no further than this super-easy recipe. The whole dish—spaghetti + garlicky shrimp—comes together in 20 minutes or less.

Easy Shrimp Scampi Recipe

spaghetti

butter

garlic,

lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

dry white wine

Juice of 2 lemons, plus zest of 1

red pepper flakes

kosher salt

black pepper

parsley,

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.

An easy and satisfying dinner in under 30 minutes!

Easy Shrimp Scampi

linguine pasta

unsalted butter (divided)

olive oil (divided)

garlic

shrimp

oregano

lemon juice

dry white wine*

Salt and black pepper,

parsley

Begin cooking pasta according to package directions.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat in a skillet. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, stirring frequently, about 1 minute.

Add shrimp and oregano.  Cook, stirring frequently, until shrimp have just turned pink on both sides (about 3 to 4 minutes). Remove shrimp from skillet with a slotted spoon and place on a plate.  Set aside.

Return skillet with juices to medium high heat. Add white wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil, while stirring. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil and stir until butter is melted and mixture is combined.

Transfer shrimp back to skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.  Season with desired amounts of salt and pepper, if desired.

Spoon shrimp mixture on top of a bed of cooked linguine and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Instant Pot Shrimp Scampi Pasta

olive oil

garlic, (minced)

angel hair pasta

chicken broth

salt

Parmesan cheese

Heat Instant Pot on “Saute” function. Add butter, olive oil, shallots, and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until shallots soften, 2-3 minutes.

Add wine and cook, stirring, until wine has reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Turn Instant Pot off.

Add 1 1/4 cups broth to pot, scraping up any brown bits. Crack pasta in half and layer in a criss cross pattern. Add remaining broth and separate strands of pasta as much as possible. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and then add frozen shrimp to the top, without stirring. Sprinkle with salt. 

Secure Instant Pot lid and turn valve to seal. Set on “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” (depending on your model) for 0 minutes (not a typo!). If your Instant Pot model will not accept 0 minutes as a setting, simply press Cancel when you hear the signal that it’s reached full pressure. 

Once the Instant Pot has reached full pressure, immediately release pressure by doing a “quick release” and turning valve to vent. 

Remove cover and stir in Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and lemon juice.

Taste and season with additional salt and red pepper flakes as needed. Serve immediately.

Shrimp Scampi Pasta with Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes

Butter – divided

Olive Oil

Shallots, thinly sliced

Garlic, chopped

lb Large Raw Shrimp, peeled, deveined, and thawed

Kosher Salt,

Pepper,

Lemons

Dry White Wine (I use Chardonnay)

Pasta, cooked (I use Linguini)

Spinach

Cherry Tomatoes, halved

Heat a large skillet over medium-high, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Turn the heat to medium and add 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots. Cook for 2 minutes until soft and translucent. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Add 1 pound large raw shrimp (peeled, deveined and thawed) in one layer to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Do not stir. Cook on one side for 1-2 minutes depending on the size of your shrimp. Turn the shrimp individually and cook for another 1-2 minutes. They should be a whitish opaque with the tails turning a reddish-orange color. Remove shrimp from the skillet and keep warm.

Add the juice of 1 1/2 lemons and 1/2 cup dry white wine. Bring to a boil and add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter.

Add a 5 ounces package of fresh spinach and 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved) along with 10 ounces cooked pasta into the skillet and gently toss until the spinach is wilted. Season again with salt and pepper to taste.

Return the shrimp to the skillet and mix all together.

Serve warm with crusty bread and a side salad (optional).

Made this tonight - my husband said he could eat another bowl full of it! I did not have any white wine so used chicken broth and no cherry tomatoes so used Romas. No fresh lemon so used juice and it still was delicious. Can’t wait to try it again for company with the wine, fresh lemon and cherry tomatoes! This one is definitely a keeper!

This was delicious! Loved the additional flavor with the spinach and tomatoes - won’t go back to plain shrimp scampi!

This looks so fresh and healthy and flavorful!  Can't wait to try it!

This is an awesome dish and easy to prepare. We used whole grain pasta and it had great flavor. I love just about anything with shrimp and this held very true to that. Thanks for all your recipes - we love them.

Kristy,
Your shrimp scampi was delicious!  We made it last night and it  was light and fresh.  We are trying to eat more healthy.  Thank you!

I have made this recipe many times and it NEVER disappoints!! Thank you so much for sharing!

Made it as is and it was fantastic! Made it again for my dad who requested spicy Italian sausage added as well-- amazing! This recipe is a keeper!

I skipped the lemon juice, and probably added added a little more wine and garlic.  It was delicious - worthy of a Pinterest Pin!  Thank you!

If I could rate this higher I would.  My hubby is not a big pasta guy but he had 2 helpings.  I was afraid I wouldn't have enough white wine so put 1/4c wine and 1/4 c chicken broth.  The lemon juice added a freshness that was great.  Also added parmesan cheese to sauce and fresh parm over top.....
Amazing

I enjoyed this recipe and successfully cut it to 1/4 to enjoy myself.  It had a fresh flavor.  I made it with the exact ingredients except for adding a few red pepper flakes toward the end and topping with Parmesan cheese.  The only change I would make is adding fresh basil the last minute.  Thank you for a lovely recipe that I can easily make for one.

Could I freeze this meal after cooking? I've made this a few times before and my boyfriend &amp; I love it! I would like to make this as a postpartum meal after I give birth next week. (: Pls let me know! &amp; if so... any specific instructions on how I should freeze this cooked meal?

Thank you

Such a nice addition of the spinach and tomatoes to bring this scampi a fresh feel. Looks so delicious!

Shrimp Scampi Pasta Recipe  - Easy Dinner Dish

An amazingly quick and easy curry filled with plump shrimp and juicy bell pepper. The coconut sauce is ultra creamy, slightly spicy and can’t-stop-eating-delicious.

Thai Coconut Shrimp Curry

soy sauce

½ tsp red pepper flakes

turmeric

garlic powder

¼ tsp white pepper

vegetable oil

unsalted butter

bell pepper (sliced)

tbsp ginger

shallot (finely chopped)

broth

tbsp mild red curry paste

brown sugar

½ tsp turmeric (ground cumin, ground coriander)

tbsp fish sauce

full fat coconut milk ((14 oz/400 ml) coconut milk)

lime (juiced)

tsp sriracha (optional)

torn thai basil

scallions

onions

cilantro

chili pepper

marinating

Get all the prep done before you start cooking. Add shrimp, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, turmeric, garlic powder and white pepper to a bowl. Stir to combine, set aside.

chopping

Grate the ginger and garlic cloves. Finely chop the shallot and slice the bell pepper.

searing

Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over high. Place shrimp in a single layer. Sear, 1 minute per side. Remove from skillet.

sautéing

In the same skillet, add bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until it starts to soften. Add garlic, ginger and shallot. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Deglaze with chicken broth, simmer for 2 minutes while stirring and scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.

simmering

Stir in red curry paste. Add brown sugar, turmeric, cumin, coriander, white pepper, soy and fish sauce. Cook for 1 minute, stir frequently. Pour in coconut milk and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken.

tossing

Add lime juice, sriracha and Thai basil. Stir to combine. Toss in shrimp, simmer for no longer than 1 minute. Top with cilantro leaves, fried onions and chili pepper. Serve with a crunchy cucumber salad and steamed rice. Enjoy!

This was fantastic! I also added broccoli &amp; baby corn. I sampled as I was cooking fully expecting to add more soy sauce or sriracha or turmeric but nope —it was already perfect! It took about 30 mins to make and there was a fair bit of cleanup afterwards but it was totally worth it!

It’s was fun to make and we added tofu, lime zest, and extra bell peppers.. sautéed onions with bell peppers. I’ll make this again, but probably use less red curry paste, no red pepper, and more coconut milk to our liking. Husband couldn’t finish it and I sweated  threw it lol . Otherwise a good recipe. Any other suggestions to make it a little less spicy?

OMG—This may just be the best dinner I’ve ever made! Didn’t have bell pepper so put in yellow squash. Also used yellow curry paste instead since that’s all I had. Thank you for a great recipe!!

We had this for dinner last night and really enjoyed it. The flavors were wonderful. I will definitely make this again.

I loved this recipe using red curry paste! Do you have suggestions or modifications for using green curry paste just for a change of pace?
Thanks for this delicious recipe!

Made this a couple of nights ago and it was/is delicious! ( have to dial back the Thai chili paste next time: I loved it but too much for one: she actually had coffee ice cream immediately after to cool palate!😉). Definitely a keeper !!

This is a great recipe, although I’ve never seen “mild red curry paste” and so the curry I made was definitely not kid friendly.  Good thing my fridge is jammed with stuff for my kiddo!  Definitely will make again.  I even added another can of coconut milk and it is still pretty darn spicy!

This dish was to die for. As usual with Anna's recipes, the prep work was work every chop, slice, and measure. My husband could not stop eating it and I was right behind him. I followed the recipe exactly as written down to the garnish suggestions. I always find that these recipes are tried and tested so I don't mess with the measures and they always turn out for me. Such a tasty dish with such a true Thai flavour explosion. Thumbs up for this one! Will definitely be adding this to my favourites list. Thank you.

Shrimp Scampi Pasta is an easy meal made with shrimp that is sauteed in a rich sauce infused with wine and garlic all tossed with tender angel hair pasta.

Shrimp Scampi with Angel Hair Pasta

butter (for shrimp)

olive oil (for shrimp)

shallots (finely diced)

garlic (about 3-4 cloves)

black pepper (plus more to taste)

lemon

unsalted butter (for pasta)

extra virgin olive oil (for pasta)

Cook Pasta

Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil and salt well with kosher salt. Add in 16 ounces angel hair pasta and cook for 1 minute less than the package directions state. Drain the pasta, reserving ¼ cup of the cooking liquid.

Saute

Once you drop the pasta into the water, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add in 2 small shallots (minced), 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1 minute, just to begin to toast the shallots and garlic lightly.

Add 1½ pounds large or extra-large shrimp½ teaspoon kosher salt¼ teaspoon black pepper to the skillet and sauté for just 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a plate.

Simmer

Add ½ cup dry white wine (or stock), zest and juice of 1 medium fresh lemon and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce by half and then add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted, add the shrimp back into the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the shrimp is opaque and firm.

Toss

Add the cooked pasta, reserved liquid, ⅓ cup chopped parsley, and 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to the skillet and toss to coat. Heat over low heat for 1 minute just to combine everything. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.

I made this for company last night and every bite was devoured. I added extra garlic because we love it that way.

Shrimp Scampi is a go to for me for any special occasion. This is my favorite recipe! Foolproof and always a hit!

My son requested shrimp scampi for his birthday dinner and this recipe was a big hit. So simple to make and just as good as any restaurant.

We couldn't get enough of this shrimp scampi. Made it for Valentine's Day. Thanks for the recipe!

I was so surprised just how quick and easy this scampi was to make! My whole family loved it so I will be making it again soon!

Made this for dinner last night and it was a hit all around the table! Easily, a new favorite dish; hands down delicious!

This was a huge it in our home. My kids love shrimp and complain I do not make it enough. Glad to find an easy recipe that they love!

I have not made it yet but it sounds so easy and I love shrimp.
