Delicious shrimp sautéed in butter with a great combination of herbs and served with pasta. The pasta has a nice subtle flavor with parmesan cheese added instead of being smothered in sauce. We love shrimp so I added a full pound to this delicious meal, minus the two shrimp I had to taste test.

  19. I love Shrimp Scampi and make it often, but I have never added red pepper flakes, my kids were love that. Guess I try this next time they come over. Thanks for a new idea Diane.
