I would rate this a 3.5 but since there was no half I gave it a 4.
It good and easy to make but I thought it was just ok....
DEFIANTLY DOUBLE THE SAUCE. I did just after reading the reviews. It def needs more of a kick in my opinion. I put more red pepper in but I couldn't seem to taste it anywhere....
The bread crumb topping, in my opinion, was the best part. So for a quick meal, because I didn't feel like cooking for an hour this is good, easy and worth it. Good Luck!!!!!!

it was delicious, my husband and I absolutely loved it..it was so light and fresh! I doubled the sauce and garnish as previously suggested, but I think I would add more lemon zest or crushed chilli peppers next time-- it could've used that extra kick. Nonetheless, it was delicious and will be making it again in the near future :

Looking for new, healthy recipes is always a challenge. This was great because we rarely have shrimp and it was a new way to have pasta. I didn't use olives [I really don't like olives] and had to take a few liberties on amounts to make this for just the two of us but followed it as close as possible. My husband loved it and it will definately be put into the rotation.

This was really great and fast to put together. A very budget friendly meal. For 5 of us is cost a total of $26.00 for us to get most the ingredents. I had most of the seasoning already. We just added some french bread and the meal was done in 30min

The key is in the topping! I used smashed up multi-grain crackers and basil instead of parsley. It really ties up the flavors nicely.

Delicious! I made a few adjustments. I did not use the crunchy topping at the end and I skipped the olives. I added just a tablespoon of butter at the very end to the sauce the add some richness. I would recommend doubling the sauce recipe. We will definitely make this again.

This recipe was fantastic!!!! Thank you! So full of flavor which can sometimes be difficult with scampi as the pasta soaks up alot of the flavor. I made a few adjustments only because I didn't have some of the ingredients. I did not have fresh lemon so I did not include the lemon rind. I had bottled lemon juice so I used that in the sauce pan. I also did not have shallot so I used regular minced yellow onion. My husband hates olives and I also didn't have any kalamatas (which would have been fantastic so I put in capers instead for that salty effect. Instead of 1/4 cup white wine I just used a full 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Served with a big salad and it was FANTASTIC!

Great recipe!!! Love the lemon and the crunch of the crouton topping. The heat level was spot on. I did replace the parsley with cilantro. Served with a simple spinach salad. YUM!

We really enjoyed this meal! I did double the sauce, which I could tell was the right thing to do! The only thing I would change is to be careful with how much red pepper flakes you add... ours had some serious heat! It was still delicious to us!
