Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounce linguine or spaghetti
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they’re pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set them aside.
  5. Pour the white wine (or chicken broth) into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Transfer the pasta mixture to a large baking dish, spreading it evenly. Arrange the cooked shrimp on top.
  9. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella over the pasta and shrimp.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Remove the Shrimp Scampi Pasta Bake from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

To complement the rich, creamy flavors of the Shrimp Scampi Pasta Bake, consider serving it with a fresh, crisp salad or a side of steamed broccoli or asparagus. A crusty garlic bread or warm rolls can also be a delightful accompaniment.
