Recipes Shrimp Scampi Linguine

This Spicy Shrimp Scampi is a fun (and spicy!) twist on the classic. The whole thing dish comes together in no time and couldn't be easier to make. My favorite type of meal!

Shrimp Scampi is basically a dish of shrimp cooked with butter, garlic, wine and lemon. It can be served with or without pasta and if you know me but at all, you shouldn't be surprised to see that I've chosen the former! Pasta, always, I say.

The real stars of this dish (no offense pasta and shrimp) are the spicy chili paste and the butter. I'm serious, they make the dish! You might have made Shrimp Scampi with a pinch of red pepper flakes before, but we're kicking it up a notch by using chili paste in the sauce.

The recipe calls for sambal oelek which is a Southeast Asian condiment made from chili peppers. You can find sambal oelek at most grocery stores these days! The brand that you'll most likely find at stores, the one with the green cap and the rooster logo, is also the brand that makes the most popular sriracha. Next time you're at the grocery store, look for the sriracha, and I'll bet that the sambal will be right next to it. You might also see a third product by that brand (Huy Fong) called chili garlic sauce.

I usually have all three of those products (sriracha, sambal, and chili garlic sauce) in my house and have made this recipe with both the sambal and the chili garlic sauce. Both of those options will work in this recipe (sorry, the sriracha won't do!) so if you happen to have one in your fridge already, no need to run out and buy the other. Sambal is a paste, and therefore more concentrated, so you'll need a smaller amount than if you're using the chili garlic sauce. The sambal is also more of a clean chili flavor while the chili garlic sauce has vinegar and garlic, as I'm sure you gathered from the name. If you're unsure of the heat levels, start with a small amount and add more to your taste!

Like most of my seafood pastas, this one is super easy to make. The shrimp and sauce cook really fast so get your pasta water boiling before you start cooking them. Make sure to reserve a cup of the pasta water before draining—you'll need that for the sauce!

I mentioned that the butter is one of the stars of this dish, and I meant it! The butter is what makes this whole dish come together. The butter mixes with the pasta water and makes a silky, glossy sauce. So delicious!

This Spicy Shrimp Scampi is a fun (and spicy!) twist on the classic. The whole thing dish comes together in no time and couldn’t be easier to make.As decadent as it is simple, our Shrimp Scampi Linguine goes from prep to platter in a tight 15 minutes—a go-to for both weeknight dinners and last-minute entertaining. Another time saving tip: Use the same skillet to cook the shrimp and sauté the aromatics (garlic, red pepper) to reduce cleanup time. This staple of red-checkered tablecloth restaurants capitalizes on the simple union of briny shrimp and garlicky white wine butter sauce. When cooking shrimp,  be sure not to overcook; one minute per side should suffice. Serve immediately with a generous sprinkle of chopped parsley and lemon zest for a restaurant-worthy presentation.Scampi technically refers to a crustacean more commonly known as langoustines, a crayfish look-alike with a sweet flavor profile reminiscent of lobster. But in the U.S., it's synonymous with everyone's favorite shellfish. When Italian immigrants brought scampi's butter-and-garlic preparation method to the U.S., they swapped in more readily available shrimp. The pasta element was also added in American preparations, and thus a quintessential seafood pasta came into the Italian-American canon.

But as far as my personal recommendations, I’ve really enjoyed Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay Vintner’s ReserveWhiteWine or Meiomi Chardonnay White Wine. They’re great for serving and sipping with the prepared dish, too!

And if buying a whole bottle of wine seems a bit much for a single dish, you can also use white cooking wine that’s typically found with the oils and vinegar at your local grocery store.

This pasta dish has a delightfully light flavor, so you can pair it with just about anything. That being said, I like to go with Italian classics such as:
