I followed the recipe by the book and it turned out fair. Needs double the garlic and about 4 tablespoons of butter along with the juice of one lemon to spice it up. I made a quick garlic cream sauce for the pasta and topped it off with the shrimp. Turned out pretty good. The recipe is a good base receipe to jump off with.

Cooked this just tonight and it was great! We had the shrimp by themselves with steamed broccoli on the side, but these would be real good over pasta, rice or a salad too.

This really was fantastic! I squeezed in the juice of one lemon, added some capers... and then before putting it under the broiler I topped it with some freshly grated parmesan reggiano cheese. I'll definitely make this again!

Definitely not the absolutely best shrimp scampi. Too much flour and no flavor. A shame because it looked delicious!

These were definately not what I expected them to be. I followed the recipe and even went out and bought brandy for these - now I have to find something else to use it for. When I think of shrimp scampi I don't think of breading.

Average. I felt like it should have had a little lemon added to it, and maybe some garlic powder in the flour mixture. I think I will give it another shot with some modifications.

This recipe is very good. I wanted to serve this over pasta so I made a small amount of alfredo sauce to add to the pasta and served the shrimp on top. My family loved it..great flavor!

I registered on this site just to rate this fantastic recipe. It was absolutely the best shrimp scampi I've ever had, and it received raved reviews at my Christmas Eve dinner table. I took another reviewer's advice and added some lemon juice into the mix (1/4 lemon) but didn't change anything else. I was not deterred by those who said it wasn't saucy enough. You don't need "sauce" to add to this delicious scampi!

This recipe is awesome , i was a bit worried about setting kitchen on fire but flames died quickly no problem....My fiance who loves shrimp scampi said its the best he has ever had and he orders it most times we eat out at restauraunts he also used to work in 5 star restauraunt and the chefs would cook it for him !!! This is the best he claims , the worst part is now he is spoiled and wont take me out to eat to get it because this is really YUMMY THANKYOU for such a fast and easy way to make my fiance amazed that a woman who never even ate shrimp scampi that has 5 small children can cook better than a chef 10 STARS*************

I was not incredibly impressed with this recipe, either. I agree that it was missing something...in my case, any sauce? My favorite part of this dish was the angel hair pasta I served it on, which was tossed with just a touch of fresh cream and parsley beforehand. For instances where this does yield sauce, however, I'm sure that would need some improvisation to prevent it from being too greasy. I may try this again with some modifications for move flavor, but the recipe is a good start.

I wasn't overly impressed with this recipe. It wasn't bad, but I felt like it was missing something. I will try it again, and maybe tinker with it a bit. Update (9/10) - I made this again, adding green onions and some lemon juice (1/4 lemon), and loved it. I also let the shrimp sit in the flour mixture about seven minutes before sauteeing, and added one small diced roma tomato to the garlic mixture - to imitate the scampi made at a restaurant famous for it's cheesecake. Thanks for the recipe!

This tastes just like the shrimp scampi we all fork out 20 bucks for at the better restaurants. Now we don't have to!! : )

This was to die for as written. But, I think that I improved upon it by doubling the amount of sauce and substituting Frangelico for brandy.

This was a very good recipe! I didn't use Brandy or wine because I didn't have it, but I did squeeze half a lemon in after the spices were ready and added about 4 tablespoons of cut-up butter on top when I broiled it. I will definately make it again, but I might try omitting the flour so it could be more saucy.

Absolutely delicious! Everyone in my family loved it - even the kids! The recipe didn't call for it, but I added a splash of lemon juice. I served it over a bed of pasta and we all enjoyed it.

This really is a great shrimp scampi recipe. I did think there was too much parsley though, so i'll cut down on that next time. I'll be making this again, and I definately recommend it to others!!
