The Best Way to Make Perfect Shrimp Scampi at Home

great instructor! great video! great recipe! thank you :)

I made this dish for my family last night. It was wonderful, adding to our dinner rotation

Ugh please NO CHEESE on shellfish!🦐 of any fish for that matter

Is she married? Lol, now that's beautiful scampi that she's labored to produce and every step makes a lot of sense here,if you want a nice compilation. Though I live in Central Texas, I have access to real the real Langoustines that originally inspired this dish and I will definitely try this test recipe on that species. They have a bit bit more delicate shell and more natural sweetness than shrimp, so the recipe will maybe need some tweaks but this is a great starting point. Thanks for sharing!!!

This is amazing and entertaining, thanks so much! :D

That shrimp scampi looked sooooo good. There’s nothing like a nice bite into a supple piece of delicious shrimp.

Excellent .thank you

I have a large amount of frozen/shelled/de-veined shrimp (no shells). I have seen shrimp oil in groceries by me - can shrimp oil be used effectively in place of the shells??

The absolute best I have had. Thank you

I made this last night for the first time, really delicious. The tip about extracting the flavor from the shrimp shells to use in the sause is fantastic. Thank you!

Ladies, 1.5 lbs. of shrimp is my starter 😂

I just found my new favorite channel.

Too much story , boring

Were the pasta

I love the shrimp shells for the broth I have made a few recipes from this channel so I can't wait to make this but I'm going to make it with linguini♥

Ole blue hair has zero personality. Guess that’s why we don’t see her anymore.

Looks delicious!

I am so excited about making the shrimp scampi recipe made by Elle. Thank you for sharing. Lyn

I’ve made it now and it’s the best shrimp scampi I’ve ever made and I’ve made it a lot of different ways. It’s up there with that Hawaiian shrimp truck scampi the top top tier

Marry me !

What white wine do you use?

We added steak because my husband is a carnivore. It was so delectable.

12. Take off heat and add butter and parsley and mix.

Bridget Lancaster is so hot!

Looks very legit! And complex by adding the butter at the end to not separate into fat!

Can you cook this recipe with VEGAN Shrimps? I can't eat REAL Shrimps because I'm ostraconophobic 🦐🤮 🦐😆

You got to put the shrimp on angel hair pasta so the sauce gets on the pasta. It's absolutely delicious

I just made this for my fiancé and her grandparents!!!!! Took a risk because it’s not my usual recipe. I was sick of not getting enough depth and balance in my sauce and finally came across this recipe. It’s perfect. My partner prefers a more sautéed/grilled type of shrimp so I’m going to experiment with that next time.

But, THIS is FINALLY the sauce I’ve been trying to make! I’m amazed. We finished every last bite even after I thought I’ve made a little too much. Very grateful for this recipe.

The name of the dish annoys me to no end .
Scampi is a langoustine/lobsterette, similar to a shrimp in body.
So you are basically calling your dish "shrimp mini-lobster.".
No. Just no.
It goes to the lack of education in America.

Boss recipe very well explained ❤

Will try this with prawns tonight.

A ton of Salt and sugar. No wonder so many of us are obese.

This is the best recipe, the only change I would suggest is to sous vide the shrimp, no chance of overcooking them that way.

I just tried this and it is bomb.

February 2025. Got tired of all those shrimp scampi recipes that ultimately failed ( too much time/too many ingredients) and tried this recipe. Followed all the steps but had some leftover asparagus ( plated) which I spooned over with the shrimp and sauce. Then I added a touch of grated parmesan cheese/ glass of white wine. It’s now my go to recipe. It was so great smelling that my dog creeped to the dinner table and sat behind my chair. He lick the plate!

Gotta have some crispy sourdough bread to soak up the sauce.

I have got to make this for my wife.

I can't stop making this when shrimp is on the menu, incredibly delicious

This recipe's awesome.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is a Trap to get your info to get the recipe. You are the product here.

Every single recipe of yours I have ever made has been exceptional. Thank you so much!

My husband asked me to make this for tonight and this the recipe I am chosen to follow

EZ recipe, tons of flavour, and delicious!

Outstanding! ❤

"That sauce looked fairly terrible before"

Oh c'mon

Outrageous! How’d I miss this one? I’m definitely making it this weekend! Love the tips n tricks of the capable team at ATK!!! Also love how Julia and Bridget always let their chefs shine, while still guiding and adding to the presentation!
Cheers, Michael Albuquerque NM USA

Look delicious thank you

❓️❓️ Does anyone know What I can add to the shells, if I don't want to use wine? ⁉️.
Thank you ATK fans ❤

I added too much cornstarch and it looks like snot 🤮
