I love shrimp scampi. I make mine with capers and add some bread crumbs with parmesan cheese. Next time I'll add some white wine to it as suggested by reviewer "annfalco", thanks! Anything with white wine is good.

I love shrimp scampi, I add capers to mine along with a little bread crumbs mixed with parmesan cheese. The next time I make this I will take the advice of reviewer annfalco and add some white wine to mine. White wine mixed with anything is wonderful. Thanks for the recipe

I didn't think this recipe was gonna be any good, since there really isn't anything to it. But it is really good and very easy to make.

This was great! I made it as written alongside some whole wheat linguine, mixed the pasta in with the shrimp once it was cooked (letting the butter sauce coat the pasta), emptied into a bowl and topped with fresh parsley. It was a hit! Thanks so much for sharing!

Very fast and very good. Quick lunch when somebody shows up unexpected.

There was nothing to this - yes, it was good, but now what? When would you serve it? There are so many more interesting things to do with shrimp.

Unfortunately, one of my sons is deathly allergic to seafood, so I only make this when he is not here. It's awesome though, and we love it. We will definitely be keeping this recipe.

Any shrimp scampi dish that does not have dry white wine included in the ingredient list is very flat.
