Better than Red Lobster’s Shrimp Scampi Recipe

2/4/15

Copycat Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi

Shrimp in a buttery wine sauced infused with garlic and Italian Spices, served over linguine

At the end of December I asked my Instagram followers what their favorite restaurant dishes were, and the majority of them answered Red Lobster’s Shrimp Scampi! I’m not surprised, because I love Red Lobster’s Scampi as well. Let’s face it, Red Lobster has some great stuff on their menu. My only problem with not only Red Lobster, but many restaurants, is the portion that they give you for the price you pay. I once went into a restaurant, and bought a shrimp scampi dish, and was given 4 shrimp. Not only was the dish lacking shrimp, but it had very little sauce, and it was over seasoned. 🙁  … Unfortunately when you eat out, you don’t always get what you expect..

Since many of you LOVE the Red Lobster’s Shrimp Scampi, I’m going to share my scampi recipe with you so that you can make it at home! Now keep in mind that this is NOT their recipe. I don’t know anyone that works at the restaurant, nor did I find their actual recipe, this is my copycat version of it!

Delicious copycat Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi is buttery, garlicky, and heavenly!

Watch me cook this dinner!
