I love that Melissa d'Arabian uses ingredients that I have at home. A lot of other chefs on this site uses ingredients that I buy just for that dish which seldom get used again. My husband and I agree, Melissa d'Arabian is an inspiring star/cook! We've both used her recipes and are hooked on some. Hopefully she stays around to keep us cooking!

I made this Monday after watching Melissa's show on Sunday. My kids really liked it - they called it the pasta with lots of flavor! I think it's unfair to say Melissa's recipes are "knock offs" of other chefs because, after all, there are only so many ingredients to choose from and if "re-hashing" them and presenting them in a new way inspires people to cook, then more power to her. I use Food Networks database of recipes all of the time for ideas and, when comparing them, alot of the seasoned chefs' recipes have the same ingredients, instructions, etc. I for one, can count on one hand how many times I've watched a food network show and then actually made the recipe. So, I think she's doing something right! Keep up the good work Melissa!

This is yet another recipe wherein Melissa has "borrowed" from the Barefoot Contessa, but with less successful results. I agree with the previous reviewer who found it runny, and a 'copy cat' recipe of a lesser quality. I really do not understand Food Network viewers/readers and cooks by now. Melissa offers nothing new or imaginative, and basically bores me to tears. We won't be trying her recipes anymore.

I made half of this recipe last night. I decided I wanted a lite supper, I did not want pasta, and I wanted a salad. I made the Scampi marinade part of the recipe, I marinated the shrimp for 15 minutes. I placed two pieces of salmon in a saute pan and poured the rest of the marinade on top of the salmon (the lemon, garlic, pepper flakes - were perfect for the salmon and threw the shrimp into the pan. I add can artichokes, cut in half, into the marinade bowl and got the last little bits of marinade, and sauteed them at the end. P.S I had one of the best salads last night. Tomorrow night I?m having Scampi with the pasta. Melissa - We love you!

Another retreaded recipe 'borrowed' from Ina Garten. For years I've made Ina's Linguine with Shrimp Scampi (notice Melissa's almost exact name copy?, and it is soooo yummy! Pasta in one pan, shrimp in another, a few very easy steps, creates rave reviews and makes absolutely delicious leftovers.

The extra step (and extra pan of making shrimp stock is a waste of time. I found no 'extra layer' of flavor as Melissa promised.

Plus I found Melissa's swimming in extra 'sauce'. But it wasn't thick, it was runny and didn't coat the pasta at all. Adding the pasta water thinned out an already barely-flavored ?sauce?.

It doesn't compare to Ina's. Try hers and you'll see what I mean. I'll never make this one again.

Just finished making this dish for our dinner tomorrow night. It's America's Got Talent finales and don't want to miss anything. I actually had all the ingredients in my fridge. This is an easy meal to prepare having said , I will use shrimp that is peeled & divine next time. It saves on time in the kitchen. I appreciate the flavor of the shrimp shellss but during the work week it becomes a pain and everyone is waiting for me to get food on the table. My family loves seafood and this was a big hit. I will definitely make this again with Shells Off....

I absolutely loved this recipe. I thought the idea of making the stock from the shrimp shells was brilliant. It added such a nice flavor to the sauce. I LOVED the roasted broccoli. I don't usually eat broccoli, because I find it boring. However, roasting it in the oven made it so delicious. I will definitely be adding more broccoli in the future. Great job, Melissa!!

I am so proud of ME! My mom never cooked seafood and so I have always found it to be intimidating. With Melissa being a stay at home mom just like me, I feel like I can tackle any of her recipes! This dish was like a party in my mouth and everyone was invited!! I know some of the other viewers would like foodnetwork to change her show to something that limits her less, but I am loving all of her recipes and BONUS, I can actually afford to make them! Don't change a thing Food Network and Melissa!

Very tasty and easy to make. I only used the lemon in the marinade and it was great - just a hint since my hubby's not a huge fan of lemon. I used egg noodles since that was in my pantry and it worked great. Also, I added about a tbsp of flour to make the sauce a little thicker. This will definitely be an addition to my weeknight repertoire!
