I have been searching for this receipe for a long time . I would only make one suggestion. I added bay scallops. This made one fantastic meal. it will certainly go in my first choices cookbook. Thanks, mudrogr
This is a recipe I could eat at least once a week. I love shrimp, especially lemony garlicy shrimp! I do think the red pepper flakes it calls for was a little much so I halved it to 3/4 teaspoon and that was perfect. I did NOT add the pasta water. I thought the pasta water would dilute all the other favors and I'm glad I didn't add it. I was really able to taste the lemon, garlic, wine and butter with each bite. I may add a little more garlic and some lemon zest the next time I make this and see how that goes. Oh and I cut the red and yellow peppers with a tiny heart cookie cutter just for some fun.
WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL! We had this tonight for the first time and it definintly replaces my old scampi recipe! Followed the directions exactly, topped with some fresh shredded parm/romano and served with warm bread. Can't wait to have it again.
Thanks so much for sharing misterme. This recipe was delicious and so easy! I did a few tweaks: I didn't have heavy cream so I substituted greek yogurt. Delicious. I was also out of red pepper flakes so I too a few whole dried red peppers and added them to the roux when the pasta was absorbing the liquid. They added just the right amount of pazazz. I took them out when I served of course. I dusted the dinner with a little Parmesian which is a no-brainer. But after dinner I thought it would be a good touch to drizzle on a little lime juice just before serving. Sliced black olives seem to make sense to me too.
this was soo good. I used frozen shrimp and instead of clam juice I used chicken broth. I will add this to my regular recipe list!
We loved this recipe. Omitted the red and yellow peppers...I like but my husband doesn't. He thought it was a bit spicy and I even cut down on the red pepper. I thought the amount of red pepper was fine. If you have someone in your family that is a spicy wimp might want to cut down on red pepper.
I made this nearly exactly as instructed except I used pre-cooked shrimp and threw those in later. Also, because I had to open a can of clams for the juice, I went ahead and put in the claim pieces. This turned out wonderfully...great flavor! Thanks, I'll be making this again!!
I ended up tweaking it a bit based on another recipe I'd seen and it turned out perfect! Added 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. of saffon, just 1/2 tsp. red pepper, one tsp. lemonjuice and 2 green onions. It won rave reviews from my book club and had the perfect amount of kick!!
i often find shrimp scampi to be bland. this was anything but bland. very tasty. i didn't have clam juice so used a littel chicken broth instead didn't have yellow pepper so used red pepper and some yellow onion. delicious!
Mine didn't turn out with much flavor.
