Easy Shrimp Scampi Recipe

main dish, Quick and Easy, Recipes, skillet meals

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links.

This Easy Shrimp Scampi Recipe is brought to you by McCormick & Company. All opinions are 100% mine.We eat a lot of chicken around here.  Don’t get me wrong, I love chicken, but sometimes my family wants something a little different.  So I’m always on the look out for new (or new to me) recipes.

I was invited to try out one of the Recipe Mixes from McCormick.  I already have a pantry full of McCormick’s spices and recipe mixes, but I took this as a challenge to try something new.

I browsed through the many recipes on McCormick.com and finally settled on the Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi.  (They have so many recipes- you definitely need to take a moment and look through them, I know you will find a great new recipe to try.)

Seafood recipes are generally not on the top of my go-to recipe list.  I grew up on an island, so when it comes to fish and shrimp, I tend to be super picky.  (If the seafood’s not right off the boat, I’m often disappointed.)  When buying the shrimp for this recipe, I followed the advice of the guy behind the seafood counter and was very pleased with the shrimp. (Thanks, seafood guy!)

One of the reviewers for this recipe suggested that the amount of butter and oil was too much, so I reduced them significantly. I think it turned out perfectly and listed the amounts I used below.

Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi (adapted from McCormick.com.)
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces linguine or other pasta
  • 1 to 2 Tbs of olive oil (I used about 1.5ish, but if you like more oil, you can always add a bit more at the end when combining with the pasta.)
  • 3 Tbs butter
  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and de-veined
  • 1 package of the Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Seasoning Mix
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
  2. Heat oil and butter in large skillet on medium heat until butter is melted.
  3. Add shrimp and Seasoning Mix; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or just until shrimp turn pink.
  4. Toss oil/butter/shrimp mixture with cooked pasta and lemon juice to coat well.
  5. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.

    I have to try the shrimp scampi. McCormick spices are in my spice cabinet all of the time. I would like to ask them about how long their shelf life is. My spices tend to get hard (perhaps from humidity) before I get them all used up. When I use them, I always shake them into my hand or a small bowl and never pour them out over a a pan, as the steam could contribute to it getting hard. Any ideas? Hope you can answer my questions please.

      Hi, Jackie. I would guess humidity contributes to clumpy spices, especially if your spice cabinet is right next to your oven or stove. I grew up on an island on the Gulf Coast and our spices were always clumpy. The only thing I can recommend to help is add a few grains of regular rice to your spice containers. The rice will help absorb excess moisture.
      Good luck,
      Jamie
