    I made this for dinner tonight. It was delicious. I substituted few things because we are in a rented home for vacation and I used Franks hot sauce because I couldn’t find the red pepper flakes at the store. That is about all that I had to change. I will definitely be making this at home. We are in Texas on vacation, and the Texas shrimp fresh from the water is great.

    This meal was amazing! I had it with my two little girls, 7 years old and 2 years old. Both of them liked it, but the seven-year-old did say it was a little too lemony for her. I think next time I will lay off the lemon juice a little bit and maybe half the amount of lemon zest. They also can’t handle large amounts of spice, so I would find some sort of garlic spice in place of the Cajun mix. This time, I had used lemon pepper spice in place of Cajun, so that may have also contributed to the over abundance of lemon flavor for them. Thank you for an awesome recipe though. I loved it!

What's the difference between scampi and shrimp scampi? ›

Scampi are tiny, lobster-like crustaceans with pale pink shells (also called langoustines). Italian cooks in the United States swapped shrimp for scampi, but kept both names. Thus the dish was born, along with inevitable variations.

While the dish is seemingly a staple of Italian-American cuisine, you're unlikely to see “shrimp scampi” listed on dinner menus in Italy. And one of the main reasons is because of its name.

How do you thicken scampi sauce? ›

Your shrimp scampi is probably dry because the shrimp cooked too long and dried out. Shrimp go from raw to overcooked fast. Watch the shrimp as they cook, they only need about two minutes.

Do you leave the tail on shrimp scampi? ›

Leaving the shrimp tail on makes for a nice presentation, and it can also add more flavor to the scampi. But tail-off shrimp is perfectly fine for this. At most grocery stores, you can buy one-pound bags of frozen raw shrimp that have already been peeled, deveined, and had the tails removed.

How do you eat shrimp scampi? ›

This flavorful dish is usually served with pasta, but many other options would pair well with it. Rice or risotto is a great option to absorb the delicious sauce and provide a blank canvas to highlight the flavors of the shrimp scampi. A simple side of crusty bread would be great for soaking up the sauce as well.

Should you eat shrimp scampi with the tails on or off? ›

One trick is even easier: Leave the tails on your shrimp when you cook them. This will not only help prevent the shrimp from overcooking, but it will make your shrimp look better too.
