I crave this wineless shrimp scampi recipe and luckily it’s quick and easy to make. It’s perfect for a busy weeknight! The shrimp is plump and flavorful and the noodles are bathed in a buttery garlic and lemon sauce.

I love to add some herbs to this recipe to give it some dimension and of course If you love spice you can easily make this a spicy shrimp scampi, be aware that the red pepper flakes go a long way!

You can use any pasta in this recipe but typically you would use a thinner noodle like angel hair or spaghetti. I have used fettuccini in the recipe pictured and it tastes just as delicious!

This recipes also reheats well. I love a good leftover! Although be warned that if you are reheating at work, your co-workers may not appreciate the smell of shrimp floating through the office. Ha ha!
