Awesome except one thing: Either use half as much linguine or double the amount of sauce and its ingredients.

Restaurant-quality. Seriously delicious. Rich flavor profile - not something that tastes like a thrown-together sauce at all. It's not just good for being homemade - it's good, period. I took the author's advice, and added the fresh basil and heavy cream at the end. I also threw in some crushed red pepper flakes to turn up the spice volume a little bit - it was PERFECT.

This was exactly what I was looking for! I wanted to use a spinach linguini pasta from trader joes, so I posted request to find a recipe that would go with the pasta. Thank you Cindy in Pensacola for recommending your great recipe!

Delicious! I made this per the instructions plus the additional instructions made in the comments by the original author (adding cream and basil). The only thing I would do differently is use a lighter cream (I don't know what possessed me to use heavy whipping cream, but I did), and maybe less of it. I think I also simmered it a bit longer to get it to reduce a little more...maybe 45 minutes.

This was very good. I made and used a Cajun Seasoning from a recipe on AR. The only changes were to add some dry basil (had no fresh) and heavy cream as suggested on a post by the creator of the recipe. Good stuff!! I'm sure this will be asked for often. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a very easy recipe. My husband and I really enjoyed it. I used spicy olive oil which gave it a nice kick of flavor.

I'd give it 4 and a half. It was easy to make but a lot of adjustments to the amounts. I added the basil with the garlic and one large tomato was 2 cups. I didn't saute the shrimp separately (why dirty another pan?) just added it to the sauce. I used cornstarch to thicken it. The sweetness does depend on the wine, I needed extra seasoning to balance it. Also included fresh mushrooms and green pepper.

If only I could give extra stars for being so easy and so tasty! For the tomatoes I used 2 cans of petite diced and one can of crushed with a tsp. of sugar (I also added in a tsp. of the cajun seasoning to the sauce). Following the advice of the recipe submitter, I added basil and also added the cup of cream that she suggests. I served this with a good coating of fresh parmesan on top. DELISH! Thanks for sharing a fabulous recipe, Cindy!!

Made this tonight. It seemed too simple to be so good! I followed the recipe pretty much but didn't cook the shrimp separate - I added it to the heated up sauce when the noodles were almost done. I also added a lot of parm cheese.

You know, my family enjoyed it maybe a little more than I did. Definitely a good dish, and I'll most likely make it again...but was expecting just a little more. My husband loved it. I have to agree with others that it could use more punch in the overall flavor. At first I thought I had accidentally made too many noodles, cause the sauce just kind of disappeared after combining the two. But I had followed everything perfectly. This one is a good Recipe for me...not great.

This recipe was good but I agree with everybody that it needs more flavor... that is why I gave it 3 stars and not 4 or 5. If I make it again I will add fresh basil or cilantro on the top. Also you need to double the amount of sauce if you have more than 3 people. My sauce was not sweet like other people said, it was perfect in flavor, I think it was too sweet for other people because of the wine they used. My sauce was too watery so next time I will add some thickener to it. The best part of this recipe was the shrimp.

We just got done eating this for dinner and I have to say it came out great. I have never made Shrimp Scampie before and I liked. I made Penne pasta and put the sauce over it and topped it with lots of cheese and put under the brioler for a few min and it was great. Thanks

I authored this recipe but since it was written and 2 years later published I've made a few changes. I add about 1 cup of cream and about 3 tablespoons of fresh chopped basil at the end. This is so good for a quick and easy meal for company or just a quick and easy meal for your family!

I'm going to be keeping this one in the regular rotation. Couldn't be easier to make, with ingredients I always have on hand, and the whole family loved it. The only thing I added was a little diced onion at the beginning, and some fresh basil at the end. Thanks for posting this, we love it!

This was such a terrific tasting recipe. I wanted to make it a bit heartier so I added red and green peppers and some mushrooms. I cooked the veggies and shrimp separately and added some red pepper flakes then just added it to the tomatoes when they thickened. The tomatoes, wine and butter made such a tasty sauce. A keeper recipe! Thank you!
