We all know that I love a pasta recipe. Anything with garlic, butter and herbs is my idea of perfection - but if you're upping the ante and going for it, this Ultimate Garlic Shrimp Scampi is the way to go!
Pasta, shrimp, wine, garlic, butter, olive oil, a sprinkling of herbs... what more could you ask for in a simple weeknight dinner?! Oh... maybe a glass of white wine 🙂
It's one of those meals that is perfect for busy weeknights, it works for guests on the weekends, or you can make it for yourself and sop up the extra delish white wine butter sauce with a piece of french bread. No judgement here 🙂

The Ultimate Garlic Shrimp Scampi
We all know that I love a pasta recipe. Anything with garlic, butter and herbs is my idea of perfection – but if you’re upping the ante and going for it, this Ultimate Garlic Shrimp Scampi is the way to go!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 garlic cloves finely chopped
- ½ cup white wine
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes more as needed
- 1 ¾ pounds large or shrimp cleaned, de-veined and shelled
- ⅓ cup chopped parsley
- 1 lemon juiced, plus more as needed
- 8-10 ounces linguine cooked according to the package directions
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, a pinch of salt, red pepper flakes and plenty of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Let wine cook down for about 2 minutes.
- Add shrimp and sauté until they just turn pink, 3 to 4 minutes depending upon their size. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice and add cooked pasta. Toss to combine. Serve with additional lemon wedges
Notes
Don't forget a loaf of crusty bread to soak up all that amazing garlic!

I made this for dinner. It was absolutely delicious! Just the right balance of heat and acidity. Tastes like I've been cooking all day!
What can you use instead of white wine?
seafood stock!
I've made this numerous times. Never fails and my family loves it!
The family loved it! We doubled all ingredients to make with 1lb of linguine. Very flavorful & perfect amount of sauce. I already had a Pinot Grigio opened which worked great! A+
