What is a good side with shrimp scampi?We Answered:
For the salad:Baby spinach topped with mandarin oranges slices (from a can) & red onion slices. Serve with a vinagrette made with 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, & 2 tablespoons orange marmalade, salt & pepper
Why don't you serve the scampi over the linguine? This recipe is awesome!
Ingredients
1 pound linguini
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 large shallot, finely diced
5 cloves garlic, sliced
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
20 large shrimp, about 1 pound, peeled and deveined, tail on
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves
Directions
For the pasta, put a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When it has come to the boil, add a couple of tablespoons of salt and the linguini. Stir to make sure the pasta separates; cover. When the water returns to a boil, cook for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the pasta is not quite done. Drain the pasta reserving 1 cup of water.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) until the shallots are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add them to the pan and cook until they have turned pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside and keep warm. Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley and cooked pasta and reserved pasta water. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over a bit more olive oil and serve immediately.

Can I use red wine in a lemon wine sauce?We Answered:
ok...scampi doesnt have to have wine...lemon and garlic is fine...worcestershire sauce...definately not....but Dijon mustard is the new "It" ingredient...depends on your taste..but red wine will ruin it as a scampi...and just a little info for you...a scampi is actually a type of shrimp..so when you see chicken scampi or other types of scampi...just kind of makes ya giggle...enjoy your good eats!!!!Eric Said:
Could I add some kind of pasta into this dish?We Answered:
use the pasta as a side dish with some garlic and olive oil as seasoning it will go so good with this... I love your choice of cooks i love ina garten and make her meals all the time...Terry Said:
really good shrimp pasta recipe?We Answered:
Sounds to me like your on the right track already. I like to fry the shrimp in a tiny bit of olive oil, almost dry, with a garlic clove that I remove after cooking. Then in the same pan make the white wine sauce and add your veggies. Then mix it with your choice of pasta. I prefer linguine myself. Food Networks web site has a recipe for white wine sauce.Jennifer Said:
