Love this recipe. I have been making a similar dish for awhile and decided to try this one because I thought the addition of the half and half would be a good fit. I was right. I have to say that shrimp without garlic just is a letdown. I love garlic so I used a whole garlic and I marinated the shrimp in garlic powder as well. Added about a tablespoon of red pepper flakes as well as 2 tablespoons of paprika. I also used olive oil along with the butter and used my homemade blueberry wine because it was all I had on hand. This one is my new go to. Thanks for the great recipe.

This is so good and so easy! I did liberally sprinkle the shrimp with Old Bay seasoning and let set for 1/2 hr. before cooking. Also added more garlic. Can’t thank you enough for posting this great recipe! It’s a keeper.
I make this dish often, usually when I'm runny late and need something quick for dinner. I always have pasta in the pantry and shrimp in the freezer. This dish is a snap to make.
Absolutely wonderful! We didnt have enough pasta for 4 people, so I also made some Spanish rice to go with it. My whole family loved it.
Love, love, love! So easy to make. A little rich, but, yeah.... : )
This was creamy and delicious! I used heavy cream instead of half and half and a pinch of oregano instead of parsley which I did not have.
This is wonderful! I made it for me and my husband, but it would make a great entree for guests too. So easy - I used pre-cooked shrimp and only had the grated parmesan in a can, but it was still delicious. Definitely a keeper.
Recipe was awesome! Added some freshly grated mozzarella into the sauce and some red pepper flakes. Perfection.
Very simple, very nice! One of the best pasta dishes! My wife loved it.
This recipe was very good but I found that I needed to double the recipe if serving more than two people. I also would recommend putting in the pre-cooked shrimp last as mine were over cooked. It was very tasty and will make again.
Wonderful sauce! I used it over lobster ravioli instead of noodles and the meal was a hit. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe - we'll use it regularly.
Made it pretty much as the recipe called for..... OK, OK, so we like more garlic in things! But we thought this was pretty good and we did enjoy it very much. However, we both decided that we prefer regular Shrimp Scampi (emphasis on the lemon/wine/butter marriage w/o the parm) to this. Will stick with the tried and true.
I made this tonight but made some subs. I added regular milk with a little bit of cream cheese. Use angel hair pasta and added italian cheese mix, spinach and mushrooms! It was delish!
Perfect! I used Angel Hair pasta because that’s what I had, and added some chopped up artichoke hearts. I’ve made variations of this recipe before but never added the half and half. I think it made the dish!
My entire family of 6 loves this, including my step-daughter who eats about a total of 3 different things. Easy, quick and a nice addition to our meal rotation.
I used heavy cream instead of half and half. It was really good. I think this would also be good with chicken
This is quick meal, I liked the concept of it, but , I would use heavy cream next time and add pepper.
This pasta was great and easy to make! I agree with the other reviewers- could definitely use more garlic, lemon, and the like. It was just a tad on the bland side, but would be exceptional with just a bit more of all the flavors.
OMG!!! This recipe was so simple and Delicious!!!
I will No longer order Shrimp Scampi from Olive Garden or Red Lobster!!! So much cheaper than eating out, I had way more shrimp (I used Jumbo shrimp) plus I had leftovers.
Thank You for posting this recipe.
i changed out the Pinot for chicken stock because we dont use alcohol to cook and it was wonderful.
Great recipe
Loved this! Definitely make it again. Changed a few things - just trying to be a tiny bit healthier. For half and half used fat free version, plus added a bunch more fresh garlic and fresh ground better. Family loved it!
How do you have shrimp scampi without garlic? it's a bland mess. add the garlic if you want to live.
I really enjoyed this dish! The sauce was on the thin side, but the pasta soaked it up and was really good. I did add Dijon mustard that was in another scampi recipe I looked at. Thought it added a little extra tang. Will definitely make this one again. Very easy to throw together.
This recipe is great - I made it as listed.. yet did double the sauce ingredients (anticipating the pasta absorbing it) and all enjoyed it! Fresh parmesan cheese really helped balance the flavors!
It was great, I also use regular milk with the half and half. Add lobster claws. Onions and green bell peppers. I thank you so much!
Added crushed red pepper flakes and cut shrimp in half length wise. Very good
