Garlic Shrimp Scampi

Forget that other comment. Use MORE garlic. ALL of the garlic. I’ve made this a ton of times and the best way I’ve done it is to do the pasta about 3/4 of the way and then finish it with everything else. Remove from heat, jangle it around, and cover it for about 5-7 minutes until the pasta finishes. The pasta will soak up the sauce and it’s the jam.

I made a double batch. I sautéed onion with the garlic and I added a lot more garlic than the recipe calls for. Right before you add the lemon and seasonings I tossed in spinach and cherry tomatoes and let that simmer. I also added the pasta into the shrimp mixture to let it soak up the sauce. It’s delicious and would definitely make it again.

Cook this dish for the first time ... next time I will make it more soupy .... overall it was delicious!

I didn’t have spaghetti in the house, so I boiled lasagna and cut it to resemble noodles. Added more garlic and more red pepper flakes to give it a nice SPICY flavor. Next time I will probably add a little more butter.
