Description

A restaurant-quality shrimp scampi recipe featuring golden, crispy shrimp in a buttery garlic white wine sauce served over angel hair pasta. This copycat Olive Garden recipe delivers tender, juicy shrimp with a slight crisp on the outside, coated in a sauce that clings to every strand of pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 oz angel hair pasta
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook angel hair pasta according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Season shrimp with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy, then remove and set aside.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining butter and minced garlic, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  7. Add chicken broth and red pepper flakes, letting the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
  8. Return shrimp to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
  9. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Pat shrimp completely dry before cooking to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking shrimp—work in batches if needed.
  • Use a dry white wine you’d actually drink for the best flavor in the sauce.
  • Reserve some pasta water to thin the sauce if it becomes too thick.
  • For extra richness, finish with a tablespoon of cold butter stirred into the sauce.
