I love this shrimp scampi pasta recipe! Buttery, zesty and so satisfying… If you want to add more lemon wine butter and garlic to this recipe I certainly won’t stop you!
I love using spaghetti but if you want to sub in your favorite pasta to make linguini shrimp scampi for example then go ahead! If you’d like to try making your own pasta from scratch
ABOUT THE SHRIMP
I bought some super-fresh jumbo shrimp to make this dish and they made all the difference! Don’t use frozen precooked shrimp to make this recipe, the taste and texture will be subpar.
Cleaning, or deveining shrimp can seem a bit intimidating so I wanted to go over the process.
Start by removing the shell. You can peel it off from the bottom where the little swimmeretes are.
Once the shell is removed use a small knife to make a roughly 1/4″ deep cut down the top of the shrimp.
Now you should be able to see a small vein which you can pull out using your fingers.
That’s it! If you’re having difficulty you can cut a bit deeper and use a knife to help remove the “vein” which is actually the shrimp’s digestive tract.

This week Gordon's first guest is none other than...him! Watch as he cooks up a delicious Shrimp Scampi with capellini Pasta that you can easily make on any busy evening. Check out the recipe here or below:
Yields 1 serving
Ingredients
8-12 each 16/20 peeled, deveined shrimp
4 oz dry capellini / angelhair pasta
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive oil
3 each garlic bulbs
1 each large shallot, small diced
2 tsp chili flakes
2 each lemons
¼ cup white wine
2 Tbsp capers
½ Cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ Cup seafood stock
2 oz butter, cubed
1 parmesan cheese wedge
1 sprig basil, picked
TT Salt and Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
Method
Add water to a 4 quart sauce pot. Salt liberally, cover with a lid bring to a boil.
Heat a medium nonstick sauté pan on medium heat with one tablespoon of olive oil. When hot add the shallots, finely grate the garlic bulbs into the pan and sauté for 2 minutes to soften them. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and cook until it is almost evaporated from the pan. Add the seafood stock, chilli flakes, capers, cherry tomatoes and lemons (zested and juiced). When the sauce comes to a simmer, season the raw shrimp with salt and pepper and poach in the liquid for about 1 minute per side. Add the cubed butter to melt. Taste and season the sauce accordingly.
Meanwhile, when the pot of water begins to boil, add the pasta and use tongs or a fork to gradually push it into the seasoned water as it starts to soften. Boil the pasta, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick together, for about 3-5 minutes, or until al dente. Strain the pasta and quickly add it to the pan with the scampi sauce and cooked shrimp. Toss the pasta in the sauce to coat evenly. Finally, tear the fresh basil leaves and toss into the pasta before plating.
Plate the cooked pasta into a medium size bowl with some height. Garnish with a grating of parmesan cheese.

How to make creamy shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta – Best Tips & Tricks
1. Which ingredients can be changed in this creamy shrimp scampi pasta recipe?
- You can substitute butter with clarified butter or oil for a dairy-free dinner. Just leave out the cheese or choose your favorite plant-based cheese.
- You can sub parmesan with Grana Padano or pecorino cheese if you prefer.
- Feel free to use other types of pasta. Spaghetti or linguine would work well. Just keep in mind that larger noodles will need a longer cooking time (usually 8 to 10 minutes to cook to al dente). You’ll also need more cooking liquid, as bigger noodles absorb more broth than angel hair. To be safe, keep an extra 2 to 3 cups of broth if you’re using a different type of pasta and add it if the dish seems a bit dry.
2. Can I make garlic shrimp scampi pasta with wine?
Yes, why not add a splash of white wine to liven up the dish?
Simply add 1/2 cup of white wine to the shrimp during the last 2 minutes of cooking, before adding the pasta. Let the shrimp simmer in the wine a bit to soak up all that flavor. Then remove the cooked shrimp from the pot and continue with the recipe.
As for the wine you use, there is no secret here: just use a bottle you like and are happy to drink. It’s just half a cup after all, and it’ll also end in your belly ????
Whatever you do, don’t buy super cheap cooking wine. The wine is important as it enhances the flavor of the food, and you’ll also feel its flavor stronger in the food. So you don’t want to end up with a food tasting like a cheap wine you wouldn’t drink.
3. What is the best way to cook the shrimp for this recipe?
For the most tender shrimp scampi, cook the shrimp in a shallow skillet until they just turn pink. This makes for a one-pot dinner, as you can cook the pasta in the same pot.
Tip: Use peeled and deveined jumbo or extra-large shrimp for really plump and juicy flavor.
You can also use pre-cooked shrimp if you prefer.
Whether you buy fully cooked shrimp or have leftover grilled or roasted shrimp from another meal, the method is the same. Simply add the cooked shrimp right before serving (after the pasta is cooked) and heat through.
Or if you prefer the char of a grill, you can also grill shrimp for the scampi and add them to the pasta and sauce before serving.
To make perfect grilled shrimp:
- Lightly oil and preheat a grill to medium heat.
- In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with salt, pepper, and olive oil or melted butter, until evenly coated.
- Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until opaque.
4. How to make this easy shrimp scampi recipe low-carb
If you’re following a low-carb diet, you can simply make creamy shrimp scampi without the pasta. You’ll also only need 1/4 cup of broth to make a silky sauce.
- First, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with chili flakes and sea salt.
- Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Set aside on a plate.
- To the same skillet, add the lemon zest and juice. Pour in 1/4 cup of broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce and enhance its flavor.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, and mix until the cheese melts. Return the shrimp to the pan and turn the heat off.
- Season with salt and pepper to your taste, and dig into your low-carb easy parmesan shrimp scampi!
5. How to make the shrimp scampi with frozen shrimp?
If you’re starting with frozen shrimp, it’s best to let them defrost before cooking. You can quickly thaw shrimp by placing them in a bowl in the sink and running cold water over them for 10 to 15 minutes, until soft. Drain well and pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel
