    This is an excellent scampi and great with a side salad.

    Instead of whole anchovies we used 2 Tbsp of anchovy paste (found in the canned meat aisle. Also used 1/2 tsp of dried oregano and 1 Tbsp dried basil instead of the fresh.

    One change, stir in the pasta and wait until it's almost al dente ~5 minutes. Then add the shrimp.

    I made this dish almost like the recipe, except I omitted the anchovies, and used about 1/4 cup less of broth. It turned out wonderful, not soupy at all. And I only had to use one pot.

    I altered this recipe slightly and I make it all the time now! I decided to skip the anchovies, and by accident I picked up cilantro instead of parsley...but decided to make the best of it since I love cilantro and it was amazing! Also, I wait until the last minute to add the shrimp because they only take a second to turn cook. This recipe is even better as left overs because all the flavors marinate together and make the dish soooo delicious!

    never had shrimp scampi before but love shrimp and I wanted to make
    something different for the holidays this was awesome. Never in my life have I
    bought fresh herbs wonderful (forgot the parsley. I like this so much I've taken
    to work and they love it the only thing is I don't have a clue on what to do with the left over anchovies so I just put them in the trash.

    I modified this recipe and it was wonderful - I added roasted red peppers, mozzerella and chicken with Penne instead of Linguine!!!

    Absolutely wonderful!!!

    This was very flavorful and satisfying. It was also quite simple to make, but I found that the pasta took much longer to cook than the recipe said. Because of this, I would leave the shrimp out until the last few minutes of cooking so that they don't get tough. Otherwise, this is a winner!

    Outstanding - the fresh herbs are the secret. The only minor thing I'd change is adding the shrimp when the pasta is almost done. Adding it as the same time overcooks it and makes it a tad rubbery.

    I'd give this 5 stars if it wasn't so runny and I followed the recipe to the letter. I had to strain the mixture to separate the solids so I could thicken the sauce with some corn starch added to the lemon juice. I'll definitely try this again but will experiment by cooking the linguine separately and use no water in the sauce but this eventually turned out so tasty that I'm determined to make it work better.
