recipe reviews for:

Seafood Scampi Linguine

“This is my own special recipe. The most requested dinner when friends and family come to visit from all over the country. It's so easy and trust me...I hate capers, but they add just the right flavor. If you really don't like capers, put them in a empty tea bag, fasten with a twist tie and throw it away before serving, but trust me I've had no complaints! This is a perfect dinner to entertain with or just for a romantic night for two. Suggestion: Have a nice but simple spinach salad and a good gourmet Italian bread with it.”

Good with scallops and shrimp - but would be just as good with shrimp only to save $$$. Used 1/2 the butter, 2 red bell peppers. Would be good with red pepper flakes

Easy to make and very tasty--a light veg. sauce that is a nice change from heavier tomato or cream sauces. I thought the garlic amount looked excessive, so I used half as much and probably could have used more. I also used only three-fourths as much pasta, which was plenty. My husband loved this. Would be great with crusty bread to soak up the excess sauce.

So tasty. I followed the directions with a few changes - i left out the clams and used a lawrys bell pepper and pepper seasoning i had to flavor the zucchini. I did use the oven and oh the taste of the zucchini and dish was so delicious. I also added about 4 teaspoons of caper juice. Slightly salty taste, but it added a true depth to the dish that I will want to recreate many times over. oh if i had a suggestion it would be to double the amount of zucchini and use 1/4 inch thickness when slicing.

Just divine. I cook for a small group every Wednesday and this recipe got the best reaction from anything else I have ever made. Great taste, very filling.

The meal was good! My hubby didn't care for the capers in the dish, but I liked them.I thought it was too oily (that may be for the fact that I cut the seafood in half, but forgot to cut the sauce in half!).

This recipe was AMAZING! Just wonderful. I made it tonight for the entire family and it was a hit! Every ingredient was perfect. I would not change a thing! I followed it exactly. I have been looking for a seafood pasta recipe with a light sauce, nothing creamy and heavy. This did the trick and I will be making this regularly from now on. We just can't get enough!

This recipe turned out wonderfully. Other than substituting extra shrimp instead of the clams I followed the recipe exactly and was very pleased with the results. I made it for my mom's birthday and everyone loved it. Thanks for the recipe!

I followed this recipe with the exception of the capers, capers and my family just don't get along so I added a little Sherry wine and this turned out so well. It made nice hearty servings filling my wide rimmed pasta bowls beautifully. Certainly will make again!
