I don't understand how this recipe got 5 stars. I followed recipe to the letter with the exception of using wine instead of vermouth (hubby hates vermouth and found it just below average at best. This was a one time make for me. Sorry - I really wanted to like it!

This recipe was a hit at our Christmas Eve dinner party! My fiance and I are newbies when it comes to cooking delicious meals and this one was easy enough for us to follow. What a great way to start a good tradition :

The taste was okay. I definitely prefer white wine to vermouth in a scampi sauce. My biggest problem with this recipe is the amount of sauce it makes. There was nowhere near enough sauce for four people! Going by the serving size in this recipe, it makes about 2 tbsp. worth of sauce for each person. When I make a scampi sauce, I want a decent amount of sauce covering my pasta, with enough left over to dip my bread in.
Oh, and to the reviewer who complained about the redundancy of the name "shrimp scampi": "Scampi" is the commercial name given to the Norway lobster, not shrimp. But even if it was the Italian word for shrimp, over time the dish has evolved to include lobster scampi and chicken scampi. It just makes sense to specify and write *shrimp* scampi.

I took it a few steps further.
I didn't have vermouth, but used white wine instead.
I tripled the sauce volume
I sauted abot 3/4 cup of Pankow bread crumbs in 2 Tbsp unsalted butter to a nice brown. Let them cool a bit and combine with 3 Tbsp of Parmesan cheese. set aside.

I made a stock of the shrimp shells and added this to my pasta water, or you can put in a strainer & cook while heating up the water. Stock can be added to rice for cooking. This adds flavor to pasta or rice.

After pasta is done, put into large serving bowl, top with shrimp& sauce, and then sprinkle the bread crumbs over the entire top.
