Easy Shrimp Scampi Recipe
Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links.
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.
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.
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
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- Heat oil and butter in large skillet on medium heat until butter is melted.
- Add shrimp and Seasoning Mix; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or just until shrimp turn pink.
- Toss oil/butter/shrimp mixture with cooked pasta and lemon juice to coat well.
- Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!

The Cheesy Vegetable Spaghetti Pie is what I'm going to make for dinner tomorrow. I have an abundance of zucchini in my garden and my plant is still producing even though we've had temperatures in the 40's!

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.
Jamie says
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
