Very, very good! The first few bites I thought the wine was a little overpowering, but as I kept eating, it all tasted wonderful. I did cut the breadcrumbs down quite a bit, just a light sprinkling. I also served it over thin spaghetti as I'm not a big fettucine fan. Absolutely delicious, thank you! Thanks :)

This was fabulous! It was eaten so quickly, I didn't get a chance to get a photo to post! I am so impressed with this recipe. I have not had much success with cooking with wine in the past, but this was perfect! Thanks for a fantastic recipe!

really good, simple and quick. although I made it simpler and quicker by skipping the baking part and just adding the wine and lemon juice to the pan right after adding the shrimp, wait 3-5 minutes (or just until pink), add a handful of the breadcrumbs, a little fresh tarragon, and done! (I can't stand overcooked shrimp) I also threw in some frozen peas to the cooking pasta right at the end for color. Probably took 30 minutes total (minus cleaning the shrimp!)

This recipe is great! I wouldn't change a thing except on the amount of breadcrumbs that are called for. Instead of scooping out a cup as the recipe calls for, you should just take tablespoon by tablespoon, sprinkling the breadcrumbs on until the shrimp are coated. A cup of breadcrumbs is too much. Otherwise, this recipe makes the best shrimp scampi my husband and I have ever had!

I did not care for this. Maybe I did something wrong??? Everyone else seemed to like it.... The recipe called for WAY TOO MANY bread crumbs. The shrimp turned out "doughy" (from too many bread crumbs). Also thought the lemon and wine mixture was too overpowering and the pasta was very dry. I made this dish for friends, and luckily was able to salvage it (my bf and I shook off the bread crumbs as best we could, stuck the shrimp on skewers and grilled them). My bf thought that the breadcrumbs were odd (shrimp de joghne is prepared with breadcrumbs, not scampi). This recipe is not for me. Sorry!

We did not care for this, my boyfriend, roommate, and I followed the recipe exactly. I think the problem was the bread crumbs so maybe leaving those out would have helped. We served the shrimp and pasta separately and ended up taking the pasta, adding parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and eating that.

This is a great recipe that I turn to often. I've made adjustments too: a little more garlic because we love it, a little less breadcrumbs. I also sprinkle a liberal coat of parmesan cheese on top before baking, and turn the broiler on it for the last couple minutes so it's nice and bubbly and just starting to go brown. It's a great light meal that tastes delicious!

Tasty, but the breadcrumbs were way too overpowering and pasty. Next time I'll try with half the crumbs.

I can not hardly rate this recipe. I had shrimp, garlic, oil and butter but not much else! I followed the directions but substituted Sprite for the Lemon Juice (mine had gone bad). Since I discovered I did not have bread crums, I had a few of those roasted Veggie crackers, I crushed those and used instead. It was very yummy even with the changes!

This recipe was awful. There was way too much bread crumbs. The lemon and wine was strong. My family didn't like it.

The recipe is a good base if you listen to the other reviewers suggestions it is a pretty good dish I couldn't give it 4 stars because following the recipe alone I can't say that I would have been a happy camper, if you don't listen to anything else REDUCE the breadcrumbs best tip that has been given towards this recipe.

I followed this recipe, but made my own variation to it. I sauteed all the ingredients listed and added 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire. It was quick, easy, and even my 1 year old liked it. Will make again.

I thought this was fabulous. I never follow a recipe exactly, but I used all the ingredients listed but in different amounts. I only used about 1/4-1/3 cup bread crumbs and skipped the oven altogether by doing it all in a skillet. Very good. Seems like most who didn't like this you can find the reason in the reply. I will make this for guests and feel like they'll love it. Give it a shot just watch the bread crumbs.

This was good, but maybe a little too much wine and lemon. Just my opinion.
