This is a very good recipe, but the cooking time is a little off. The peppers don't need to cook for 20 minutes, and in that amount of time the garlic gets very dark. I agree with vegascook - too much flour. 1/4 cup would probably be enough to dust the shrimp. The next time, though, I may skip the dusting and just sprinkle some flour into the skillet to thicken the sauce.

My boyfriend and I were unimpressed as it was very bland in our opinion. I even added extra red bell pepper, garlic and butter to try to make it taste better plus some Italian Seasoning as one reviewer recommended. The recipe doesn't call for salt and pepper, however, I finally started adding some to try to make it tastier. My boyfriend said it could still stand more salt. Not sure why there is no salt and pepper in the recipe? It definitely has room for improvement. Pretty sure I won't try it again and will move on to another recipe.

I made this an my whole family loved it. Regarding comments from other reviewers, I cooked the garlic and peppers for 20 minutes, as I thought this would infuse the flavor into the oil more, which it did. I just had to adjust the temperature to ensure the oil did not boil and burn the peppers. Also regarding the flour. Next time I plan to sift the flour and use less, but I save the cooking liquid from the pasta and added about a cup back to the sauce to loosen it, I also added the pasta back to the sauce to finish cooking. Next time I will add more olive oil and garlic but less lemon. I may even experiment with finishing it with a tablespoon or two of cream. All in all this recipe is a winner because the base recipe works and there are infinite modifications you can make to suit your taste that work as well.

I made this for my wife because she loves shrimp scampi. This is now her preferred recipe. She has already asked me to make it again.

A very good and different scampi recipe! I did not use the flour on the shrimp, but did add a little cornstarch at the end to thicken, otherwise made it as directed and it was great!

Very enjoyable. Looks like it takes longer than it really does. Nice light and flavorful sauce that can easily be adjusted to suit your likes. This recipe is a keeper and will be replacing my usual scampi dish.
