Easy and delish meals that the entire family loves are key at my house… and this super creamy Shrimp Scampi Pasta is no exception.

My family couldn’t get enough of it! They found it comforting and addictive… moreover, it was easy to prepare in one pot. 

It is truly one of those all-in-one dishes that can please a crowd, all while still making life easy for the cook. 

Our Creamy Shrimp Scampi with pasta is made with simple ingredients such as store-bought whole wheat linguine pasta mixed with rich and creamy shrimp scampi, Parmesan, and parsley.

Needless to say, this shrimp pasta recipe made our must-repeat list!

It’s a pescatarian dish that is restaurant-quality, but without having to pay  big bucks for it. Don’t you just love that kind of dish?

Well, come with me and let’s cook one of the best dinners that you will ever have.

HOW TO MAKE SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA

First, boil water with a pinch of salt and a hint of olive oil in a large pot. Add pasta and cook, stirring every now and then, until al dente (about 7-10 minutes). Drain and set aside pasta.

Next, using the same pot, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat for about 1 minute. Then add the garlic and let cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Do not let brown!

Next, add the shrimp; season with salt and red pepper flakes. Toss until the shrimp turns pink and opaque in the center, about 3 minutes. Add the wine; toss 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and stir just until sauce is homogeneous. Let cook for about 1-2 minutes.

Finally, remove pan from the heat, stir in lemon juice. Return cooked pasta to the pot, toss with Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley and/or basil leaves. Top with grape tomatoes if desired. Serve while hot. Enjoy!

HOW TO STORE SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA 

Store Shrimp Scampi linguine in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Heat and stir well before serving. Freeze for up to 2 months.

SUBSTITUTIONS

For a gluten-free version, substitute GF pasta for whole wheat pasta. For a low carb meal, use zucchini noodles or zoodles instead of pasta.

WHAT IS SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA?

Scampi is an Italian dish made from langoustines cooked with olive oil and/or butter, onion, garlic, and white wine… while shrimp scampi is an adaptation of the classic scampi. 

When served with pasta, it’s called Shrimp Scampi Pasta. 

Although it is a complete dish, a green salad –made from bitter greens such as kale or arugula– works well as a side for this Shrimp Scampi Pasta, tempering some of the richness of the scampi. 

In my opinion, the rich creaminess of this pasta is a plus. So I enjoy mine without the greens.
