Very good and simple. I've been looking for a good shrimp scampi recipe for a long time and either the ones I had previously found were way too simple or way too involved. This recipe is perfect. Definitely added the lemon, the lemon makes it absolutely delish for us. Thanks for a great recipe!!

Cut recipe in half, used whole wheat linguine, large shrimp and white cooking wine and thickened a bit with a little cornstarch. Flavor was excellent and shrimp stayed quite tender. The whole wheat linguine flavor competed with the scampi sauce and next time I will try it with white flour linguine. Overall excellent and will make again. Easy to put together, thank you Mr. Food!!!
