Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

¾ pound uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined, or more to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 small onion, chopped
½ yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
1 (12 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 sprigs parsley, chopped, or more to taste, divided
3 leaves fresh basil, chopped, or more to taste, divided
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (12 ounce) package spaghetti, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place shrimp on a work surface. Slice each shrimp horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like butterfly wings.
  • Mix 2 tablespoons oil, minced garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Toss shrimp into the oil marinade and set aside.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a pan over low heat. Add sliced garlic. Cook until golden and infused in the oil, about 2 minutes. Remove garlic. Increase heat to medium. Add shrimp and marinade; cook until shrimp is pink, about 5 minutes. Remove shrimp from pan.
  • Add onion, yellow bell pepper, and jalapeno to the pan; cook and stir until tender, about 10 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, 1/2 the parsley, 1/2 the basil, oregano, and black pepper. Cook until reduced to your desired thickness, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Toss spaghetti noodles into the tomato-pepper sauce and stir in shrimp. Sprinkle remaining parsley and basil on top. Serve immediately.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shrimp turned out rubbery. Not sure what I did wrong.

This is my go-to recipe for shrimp scampi. It's always a crowd-pleaser. The shrimp are always cooked perfectly, and the sauce is so flavorful. I usually serve it over linguine, but it's also great with rice.

Not a fan of this recipe. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and turned out great! The shrimp were succulent and the sauce was flavorful. I added a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes for a little extra kick. Served it over rice and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

Meh, it was okay. The shrimp were a bit overcooked, and the sauce was a little bland. I think I'll stick to my regular shrimp scampi recipe.
