Shrimp Scampi Linguine – tender shrimp in a light lemon garlic sauce mixed with bright fresh vegetables!
When we were little we often drove over to the beach. Mom and Dad would pack us up and off we’d go to spend the day. My folks would take their clam shovels and dig razor clams and brother Don and I would follow along, getting into mischief whenever possible.
We weren’t bad children.
We were very mischievous. There’s a difference, right?
Don would walk over to a tide pool and say something witty like look Debbie there’s a starfish and of course I’d always run over to check. Somehow he’d talk me into getting closer to find it and then throw a rock in the tide pool and splash me with water.
Of course I’d cry, then I’d tattle on him. He would get in trouble. Then I’d follow him to the next sand dune and do it all over again! I don’t think I ever learned, but that’s ok – I have the BEST big brother ever, of that I’m quite sure! It was ok for him to pick on me – but anybody else? WHOA Nelly! He made sure that never happened.
When we got home, dinner would be all seafood – clam fritters, fried oysters and shrimp! Still one of my favorite meals! Really anything with seafood is a favorite and that’s why I wanted to share with you my recipe for Shrimp Scampi Linguine.
Grilling a lemon gives it a smokey flavor that is a delicious finish for Shrimp Scampi!

Now let’s talk about how easy this Shrimp Scampi Linguine Recipe is to make!
Starting by putting a large pot of water on to boil. When it comes to a rapid boil, add a tablespoon of salt. Return to a boil and add the linguine.
Next heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and when it is hot and foaming add the mushrooms.
Start by sautéing the mushrooms.
What is the secret to getting great color (great color = great flavor!) on mushrooms? Add them to a hot, sizzling pan and do not touch them or salt them. Allow them to sauté on side one for three-four minutes over medium heat before flipping. Sauté on side two.
Now add the tomatoes and garlic – be careful, the garlic burns easily!
Next add the shrimp and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook until golden on side one, flip on side two. Do not over cook!
Wait until the shrimp are golden brown before turning.
Drizzle in the wine and heat thru. Remove from heat and add the lemon juice and zest. Toss to combine.
Next add the pasta and combine everything really well. Toss it together several times. Add in the frozen peas last, toss again. No need to cook them – the heat from the meal will warm the peas perfectly!
Toss the pasta with the shrimp scampi and combine thoroughly.
