Light & Lemony Scampi
A touch more lemon helped me trim the calories in our favorite shrimp scampi recipe. For those who want to indulge, pass around the Parmesan. —Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts

Just made this for dinner and we loved it!! I doubled the sauce so we could have e little leftover!
Love this recipe, and come back to it often! I eat pescatarian and swap out the chicken broth for vegetable broth, I'm generous with the lemon and it tastes amazing. Make sure you use a skillet big enough for the whole load. Really yummy with finely shredded parmesan from Kraft.
Great recipe, thank you! My family liked it so much! I can also suggest some of these recipes with shrimps, https://club.cooking/recipe-category/shrimp/ they are also easy, but very delicious!
I made this for dinner last night for the second time. It was delicious! My family enjoyed it. I've forgotten about this recipe but when I saw that my store had shrimp on sale, it jarred my memory. My son couldn't wait for me to make it. Next time I will double the sauce, and maybe add peas as suggested by other reviewers. Thanks for sharing this!
Just made this tonight for the second time and it was delicious! I'll double the sauce next time though so we have extra.
Just made it tonight. Loved it , awesome. Added a little white wine to the broth and small amount of feta cheese at the end.
Easy! Yummy! What more could you want?
5-star for sure! Love the fresh lemon. A quick and easy meal for a busy week night.I served this with simple salad!
Excellent and easy. Janet. VFE
The lemon and the pepper were both overpowering so I'll cut back on them, but overall it was good.
