This is my new “go to” shrimp scampi recipe. A perfect balance of seasonings. The brown butter is a game changer. Very tasty. I substituted vermouth for white wine and added a small pinch [more] of red pepper flakes. A side salad and toasty bread make this meal a crowd pleaser.

Wow! Delicious recipe. I’ve been trying brown butter in recipes lately. (Brown butter banana, bread, brown butter chocolate chip cookies, etc.) and when this recipe stated that the brown butter “deepens the flavor”, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. My only changes were to add the zest of the half lemon to the garlic, add some Panko in the last couple of minutes cooking the sauce , cut down the red pepper flakes to just have a hint of a kick, and to add some capers to the shrimp just before re-introducing them to the sauce at the end. The Panko absorbed the “deep flavors“ perfectly, and it was truly a delicious meal. I wish I could make it for guests, but I wouldn’t trust myself not to overcook the angel hair or overcook the shrimp or not serve it absolutely hot. Any of the above would ruin the recipe. So I was happy to make it for myself for a Friday night dinner. More for me! Thank you for a delicious recipe that I will certainly try again. I wish this site allowed uploading a photo because it was truly a beautiful dish as well as delicious.

Very good. I used 1 cube chicken bouillon in 1/4 cup water & cut back on salt. Extra garlic & lemon. Excellent!
