Shrimp Scampi Pasta Recipe (VIDEO)

Shrimp Scampi Pasta is so fresh and satisfying in a lemon garlic and herb sauce that packs so much amazing flavor. Adding asparagus makes it a one-pan healthy dinner.

We took classic Shrimp Scampi and turned it into this shrimp scampi pasta recipe. Just like our Creamy Shrimp Pasta, this is perfect for busy weeknights because it’s easy, takes less than 30 minutes, and tastes like fine dining.

Garlic Buter Shrimp Scampi Pasta

Shrimp scampi is essentially large shrimp or prawns that are sauteed with garlic and butter and topped with crumbs. Rather than topping it with bread crumbs, we turned it into a meal by tossing it with pasta and asparagus and topping it with parmesan cheese.

Tossing shrimp scampi with pasta is our favorite way to serve scampi. We even have a Chicken Scampi Recipe if you want to change out the protein. The lemon butter scampi sauce is so fresh, vibrant, and flavorful. It makes a terrific pasta sauce!

Ingredients for Scampi Pasta

  • Pasta – We used spaghetti, but you can use just about any pasta here; linguini, penne, angel hair, you name it!
  • Asparagus – For the freshest asparagus, select a vibrant green color with ends that are tight. See my tips below on the quickest and easiest way to trim the ends of your asparagus.
  • Shrimp – Look for raw shrimp (preferably wild caught) that are large 21-30 count. Slightly larger or smaller will still work but you will have to increase or decrease cooking time accordingly as shrimp can easily overcook.
  • Butter and olive oil – when combined, the butter is less likely to burn since olive oil has a higher smoke point.
  • Garlic – adds a ton of flavor to the garlic butter sauce so do not skimp on this.
  • Lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley – add vibrant and fresh flavor to the sauce.
  • Parmesan cheese – add this to taste. You can either add it to the pan or pass it around the table for serving. Freshly grated will taste great. P.S. This cheese grater makes dinner feel like a night out.

Ingredients for shrimp scampi with pasta and asparagus

Pro Tip: Save prep time by purchasing shrimp that are already peeled and deveined. Tail on or tail off is based on preference. It’s easier to eat without the tails but the presentation is nicer with the tails on.

Can I Substitute Cooked Shrimp?

Cooking raw shrimp will give you the best flavor as it takes on the garlic flavors from the pan and will add flavor to the sauce, which is why we highly recommend raw shrimp.

If you have cooked shrimp on hand, be sure to fully thaw and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Add them to the pan just long enough to heat through. If you re-cook the shrimp, they will end up overcooked and rubbery.

P.S. If you love shrimp, you won’t want to miss our top 3 shrimp recipes which are: Shrimp Tacos (with the best sauce), Creamy Cajun Shrimp Pasta, and Shrimp Fried Rice.

How to Trim Asparagus

Asparagus ends are fibrous and must be removed before cooking. The fastest way is by snapping off the ends and wherever they snap is where the fibrous part ends. You can also use a vegetable peeler to remove fibrous ends.

How to Make Shrimp Scampi Pasta

With the exception of the pasta, the shrimp and scampi sauce come together in one pan. The beauty of it is, the pasta and shrimp can cook simultaneously and are done at about the same time. This recipe comes together fast so have all of your ingredients prepped and ready before you fire up the stove.

Pro Tip: Be sure to zest the lemon and set the zest aside before juicing it. Once you have cut your lemon in half it because extremely difficult to zest.

  1. Cook Pasta – Boil salted water in a large pot and cook pasta until al-dente according to the package instructions.
  2. Cook Asparagus – In a separate large, deep pan over medium/high heat, add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Add asparagus, season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper, and cook uncovered for 5 minutes until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Transfer asparagus to a plate.
  3. Sautee Shrimp – In the same hot pan, add the remaining butter and oil. Add garlic and red pepper flakes if using, and saute for 1 minute. Add shrimp in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and saute until shrimp are pink and opaque (1 min per side). Do not overcook.
  4. Finish the Sauce – Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and parsley, and stir to combine. 
  5. Combine – Turn off the heat, return pasta and asparagus to the pan, and toss to combine. Serve with grated parmesan.

Pro Tip: Be sure to turn off the heat before adding the lemon zest, juice, and parsley. For the most vibrant flavor, you don’t want to continue cooking once those ingredients are in. Think of them as a garnish.

    It was good, but I only put in half of the lemon juice called for and even then it was quite lemony. Also, I cooked onions in with the asparagus for more flavor. As an aside, I have to agree with whoever commented on putting oil in the pasta water. Just salt. My mom used to add oil so I used to as well until I learned it wasn’t good practice. You can’t argue with Lidia…”Do not put oil in the pot: As Lidia Bastianich has said, “Do not — I repeat, do not — add oil to your pasta cooking water! And that’s an order!” Olive oil is said to prevent the pot from boiling over and prevent the pasta from sticking together. But, the general consensus is that it does more harm than good.

      Agreed!!! As long as you have a rolling boil there is no need for oil in the pasta water, and stir it….stirring and a rolling boil, the pasta will not stick. Sea Salt only should go in your water…and properly seasoned pasta water should taste like the sea! To prevent pot from boiling over, put a wooden spoon across the pot – apparently something in a wooden spoon helps with that.

    Very good! I live in AZ so its hard to want to cook a hot meal as the outside temps heat up! So this was a perfect solution as no oven was needed and it was basically a one pot deal
    I added sautéed mushrooms after the asparagus and it made for a heartier dish.
    Reserve extra lemon slices and lemon zest for freshness during presentation
    I will totally make this dish again!

      Hi Mike, I do think doubling the lemon juice without doubling everything would be a little overwhelming with lemon juice. Since you are adding the lemon juice at the end, you might just add it to taste before serving. I hope that helps!

    I’ve made this twice because my picky eater daughter loves it. Do you have nutrition information for this recipe?

      I’m happy to hear that! We are working on adding nutrition labels and metric measurements on all of our recipes. It’s a slow process since it is one recipe at a time. Until all of the recipes are updated, check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you!

    That is exactly what I’m cooking tonight, we had this recipe for at least 4 years now, the exact one, taken from “Tasty” – The only change I do in it, I use Angel Hair pasta… Bonne Appetite

      I have made this recipe and it is an exceptionally good recipe. If you are worried about calories you are likely familiar with how to calculate them yourself, serving 4 people. It is a well balanced meal and consuming it will not affect your health in any negative manner. Just make it and enjoy it. If you are worried ’bout it having too many calories, just eat a smaller portion and that will take care of your worries. Natasha did offer you a site to check out the calories.

    I’m sorry, you lost me when you needlessly put oil in the pasta water. That does nothing but coat the pasta which defeats the whole purpose of salting the water.
    Otherwise, the recipe looks pretty decent and I’ll probably give it a try and hopefully tack on another star.

    I attempted to make this substituting chicken for shrimp because Hubby has a shrimp allergy. The taste was ok but it was definitely missing shrimp! Lol No fault of the recipe but next time I think I would try a little chicken boullion or chicken better than broth. And I think next time I will half the recipe and make my half with shrimp! 😁 All in all this is a great recipe and quite easy to throw together.

      Hi Tammy! You might try seasoning the chicken more if using – I would try seasoning with garlic salt and maybe some lemon pepper. But I agree though, it’s hard to beat shrimp! 😉

      Tammy, if you do this with the chicken, try making a sauce incorporating in a ladle of the cooked pasta water, a cup of heavy whipping cream, and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese to the lemon juice mixture. Taste and make any adjustments to sauce. Too lemony, add more cream. Salt to taste. Then add back in chicken and pasta noodles.
