A Delicious Dinner in 30 Minutes

Shrimp Lovers! Where ya at?

My Shrimp Scampi with Pasta and Parmesan must be the easiest, fastest classic shrimp recipe of all time…well, next to shrimp cocktail. Bonus: It’s not that expensive either. If you look for a sale on a frozen bag of shrimp at the store and you are willing to shell these little guys yourself, you’ll save money.

My goal is to provide you with recipes you can make after a long workday without little fuss. Real food.

If you can boil pasta and chop a few ingredients, you’re on your way to enjoying tender shrimp scampi in less than thirty minutes.

The lemon juice adds brightness to the richness of the garlic butter wine sauce, a perfect balance of flavors. Don’t skimp on the fresh herbs, which give the dish depth of flavor. And who doesn’t love a recipe that includes booze? Use a dry white wine, that you would normally sip on anyway, to add to the garlic butter sauce. Warning: Don’t overdue it on the red pepper flakes, if you opt to include them. A little red pepper goes a long way. Oh, and don’t forget to sprinkle shredded parmesan after plating to finish it off.

Enjoy! If you make this recipe, I want to hear from you. Post a comment with a photo of your plate below or tag me on Instagram with #ODLrecipes.
