A twist on shrimp scampi that I threw together for my hungry husband one day, made with things I had in the cupboard. It went over so well that it is a regular at our house now.
As written, this recipe is very tasty and gets 4-1/2 stars in my book! The only thing that I wasn't that happy about was that the sauce seemed kind of watery - but it was still good. The second time I made this, I added 1/4 cup heavy cream and fresh mushrooms - this bumped it up that 1/2 star to make it 5 stars! This will definately be a keeper
Read MoreThis recipe is a good starter recipe but needs additional ingredients to make it great. I added about three tablespoons of butter for taste, and added Thyme and about 4 oz of cream cheese at the end. I used spaghetti and mixed it all together rather than putting the sauce on the pasta. I will be doing this again!

Absolutely delicious! I didn't want to spend a lot of money for shrimp, so I used chicken instead. Turned out great!
My husband and I enjoyed this recipe, and it was really quite simple to make! It wasn't a WOW in the flavor department, but it was fresh, simple and tasty. We also loved the spicy zip of the red pepper flakes (we LOVE spicy food). I followed the recipe to the letter (all except I used regular diced tomatoes instead of those with green chiles, and I used 3/4 of a lb of shrimp instead of a full pound because it was really expensive at my local seafood store). The fresh parsley is a great touch and the leftovers are almost as good as the first go-round. I will add this to my recipe box and make it again. Although next time, I might add another 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes, and will try the ones with the green chiles as suggested. Thanks Rachel!
I loved this recipe! The only thing I didn't like was how thin the sauce was so i drained the juices off and added a little traditional pasta sauce. It was perfect besides that.
This was very tasty. I didn't have penne, so I used whole wheat pasta and it was delicious. A little spicy for the kids, but very tasty. I will definitely make it again.
This was an amazing recipe....I followed it exactly, except I did add some cream cheese in at the end
Excellent. A perfect weeknight meal when you are low on groceries. I had some fresh basil so added that in addition to the parsley. I also used half butter and olive oil because I like the flavor of the two together. If you like this try the Pasta with Tuna Sauce recipe also on this site. Both are quite good.
I thought this was delicious, however this does not feed 4. Feeding 4 would mean each person would only get a cup of penne pasta. I used 12 oz of pasta and doubled the ingredients, then added black olives and mushrooms. I kept everything else the same! It as super good! Thank you for sharing Rachel!
I used fresh tomatoes chopped up. Love this! So delicious and yes it does yield a thin sauce, but that was okay with us, yum!!

I really LOVED this recipe! I didn't follow the recipe to a "T" b/c i read the reviews so i made it my own. I add tomato sauce just to make the sauce a little thicker. I will do this AGAIN for sure
Its an amazing twist on a shrimp scampi but i like my food to be rich and flavorful so after i sauteed the garlic onion and tomatoes i added some basil oregano and tomato paste an it thickened up then i added my shrimp and it came out delicious
I love this recipe. My husband also really likes it. My son and parents thought this was too spicy. I guess it could be spicy to those who do not like spicy food, but I love spicy food and thought it was delicious, especially topped with parmesan cheese.
Delicious! Husband LOVED it! Says this recipe is a keeper. Double the recipe with these changes: 1. used 5 table spoons Olive Oil and 5 tablespoons of butter 2. 1 can diced tomatoes with chilies & 1 can diced tomatoes with green peppers and onions 3. use dried parsley bc I didn't have fresh - just cut the measurement in half 4. used 1 tablespoon heavy cream to thicken, although, the recipe did not need it but knew it would make everything look great and provide richness. 5. served with a side salad and French baguette dipped in sauce. YUM!!!
Instead of pasta, I used Hearts of Palm linguine. My spouse and I enjoyed it> I would make it again.
Made by recipe but had no scallions so used onions. Added mini bell pepper different colors, pickled jalapenos, some ground hot Italian sausage, a little heavy cream. I had angel hair pasta on hand. Just delicious!!! Will definitely make this again.
Oh my goodness! I was so very proud of myself after making this dish! I did use a couple of the tips from a few of the other reviews. Like adding a couple tablespoons of butter. I added 2 tablespoons of Heavy cream. Made sure to season it to perfection and whalah, dinner. My husband loved it. He told me to save the recipe.
Made this and it was fantastic. Everyone in the family thought it was excellent - no leftovers!
I had to make a few minor adjustments for ingredients on hand like italian seasoning and lemon pepper seasoning, but it still tasted really good. I gave 4 stars because it wouldn't be accurate to 5 star a recipe that I messed with, although the base ingredients are very solid.
Pretty good recipe, not amazing. I used a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes which may have added an odd flavor. I also added sliced black olives and used whole grain pasta. Cheese on top is a must :)
good base recipe i doubled the sauce ingredients and having read other ratings i added mushrooms and olives,still kept the shrimp at a pound . served over whole wheat angel hair with parmesan cheese and side veg. got mine and my husbands thumbs up
My husband put this together tonight, exactly as written, adding the heavy cream and mushrooms as suggested in the reviews. It was outstanding! Just us two, so there was lots of leftovers. Yum!
I enjoyed this pasta. I couldn’t find a 16 ounce can of tomatoes with chilies so instead I used two 10 ounce cans and that amount worked fine. The recipe was quick and easy. I will make this again.
Made as written except increased pasta to 16 oz, and all ingredients increased by about 25% more. Used 1 tbsp red pepper flakes. My kids are older but everyone loves it.
It was very easy and delicious! I used a can of Mexican stewed tomatoes and one whole lemon.
