Shrimp Scampi Linguini! Butter! Wine! Pasta! Shrimp! Need I say more? Probably not, but I will 
. There’s just no way to pass through the summer season without this simple yet ridiculously delicious dish. Did you know there’s not even cream in it?? Just lemon, butter and wine….
I’m a fan of shrimp, but to be honest, not really on it’s own. Shrimp Scampi is tasty but I’m over it in about 2 minutes. I need more than just a plate of shirmp. Ergo, Shrimp Scampi Linguini. I’m also just a carb person. Upset stomach? Toast. Havn’t eaten a lot in a day and my stomach is angry because of it? Pasta slash toast. Breakfast? Toast…Snack? Baguette….Slash toast. In case you can’t tell, I eat a lot of toast.
Carbs are my friend. It also really helps me with seafood. As long as there’s a massive chunk of crusty bread, bowl of rice, or a bed of pasta, I can eat all the fish and shrimp I could ever desire. So if you’d like, feel free to skip the pasta part of this recipe if you just want to get to the good stuff, or be traditional, but for all those carb lovers out there let’s jump right into this delicious Shrimp Scampi Linguini!
It really could not be easier. Just a few ingredients, and only about 20 minutes to make! Cook the linguini according to the directions on the box for al dente and drain them. Cook everything else in a large skillet. Mix together aaaand voila! Restaurant worthy Shrimp Scampi Linguini.
Resataurant worthy you ask? I’ve done my research friends. The best Shrimp Scampi Linguini recipes in my opinion combine both olive oil and butter for cooking the shrimp and then adding a little more butter with the wine and lemon juice to make a light, barely there but ever so flavorful sauce to coat the shrimp, and in this case the pasta! Throw in a little fresh parsley and you’re ready to go, no restaraunt tab necessary ![😁]()
