Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi Copycat
Make everyone’s favorite dish right at home – it’s budget-friendly and it looks so fancy without any of the hard work!
It’s Friday night. I have sweats on and a How to Get Away with Murder happening right now. With Butters by my side, of course.
Postmates is on its way, but I really should have just made this instead.
I promise – it’s not as hard as it looks. It’s the exact opposite really.
Just look at that pool of butter and that crusty bread. If that’s not a seller, then I don’t know what is.
Screw it. I’m canceling Postmates. It’s a shrimp scampi night for sure.

Hi, made this with left over shrimp from Thanksgiving. Served with spaghetti. Great.
YAY this was great. I think I added too much lemon so I cut it with chicken stock…Also added some red pepper flakes. Spooned it over angel hair pasta and soaked up the left over sauce with garlic bread. It’s probably a blessing that I only live with a cat. Garlic breath does not bother her at all. Enjoyed this a lot.
HI. Thx for your great recipes.
Here what can I substitute for wine ?! Chicken stuck or what ?!
Thx.
Yes, chicken stock would be a great non-alcoholic substitute.
Thanks for sharing delicious, can be used lo mein I would not be a good idea?
Yes, you can absolutely stir in some sort of noodles into the sauce, but you may need to double the sauce portion as needed.
This IS damn delicious!! Had to use some vermouth to make 1 1/2 c., used all fresh herbs, and added angel hair pasta to sauce before serving. Three of us ate the whole thing! So Good!!!
Chungah,
I have an IPad that does not print and would like to know how to go about saving the recipes such as the shirmp
and the foil wrap dinners? Hope there an easier way than letting recipes collect in the mail box
Thank You,
AD
You can save to Pinterest, FB, twitter, or email as needed. Hope that helps!
You can highlight the recipe, copy and paste it to Pages App which comes with the IPad. That way it will be in your Pages documents and always easy to find. Just be sure to type in the name of the recipe at the top of the page.
Is her fiancée not there anymore, I haven’t heard about the other little dog as well, Ollie I think? Are they ok?
I can’t wait to try this!
Hi Chungah! Been cooking a lot of your recipes. They’ve all been delicious! I’m wondering if there’s an option other than white wine for this one. Would heavy cream or half and half work? (I know it would change the recipe entirely, but still good perhaps?) Any other ideas? Thanks!
Chicken or vegetable stock would be a great substitute.
Ok, when do I get and invite to your home? Yum, yum, I cannot believe how you meals look soooooo delicious.
