"This is a light pasta dish with plenty of shrimp, garlic, and lemon. I have reduced the amount of lemon and salt from the original recipe to suit my DBF's tastes. The leftovers are just as good heated up in the microwave the next day."

  1. Yum yum yum! Made this tonight and we couldn't get enough! I did add a few things. some basil and a few handfuls of spinach at the end for some veggies. This is definitely going in the permanent file!

  2. YUMMM!! This was simple, fast, and delicious! Used less pasta (1/2# angel hair) and the rest as written. Still made lots. (Looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow!)

  4. This is a keeper! I made a pound of linquine and I doubled the remaining ingredients except for the lemon wedges. I did add some white wine after sautéing the garlic. And then followed the remaining recipe adding a handful of baby spinach when I added the pasley. Delicious!

  5. Made this tonight and it was very tasty. As someone with high blood pressure, I like that the salt has been reduced in it. It was plenty salty, and I might cut the salt back even a bit more. As other reviewers have said, it needs more shrimp if you're serving my crew (two teenage boys and a husband) and white wine would probably add something nice to the sauce. I also added some peas for color and some veggies. You could probably add carrots or broccoli too..... Sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top also.

  2. Yum!! I made this with chicken breast instead of shrimp, and it was simple, delicious, and with ingredients I usually have on hand. We loved it! I used whole wheat spaghetti noodles, and only one tablespoon of butter. Thanks for posting!!!

What type of sauce goes best with fettuccine and linguine? ›

It makes a perfect appetiser or main course to serve guests — they'll think it took you a lot longer to make! You can now shop for Scampi or Giant Prawns online and recreate this recipe at home.
