Lemony Shrimp Scampi image

Easy and elegant, this dish is a real catch. The use of the word "scampi" to mean a garlicky, buttery preparation for shrimp is more Italian-American than Italian; it's thought to have first appeared on a menu in 1950s New Jersey.

I love shrimp scampi and this recipe is one of the best I've tried! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I served it over linguine and it was a delicious meal. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes and it was much better. I also served it over angel hair pasta instead of rice and it was a great combination.
