Shrimp Scampi with Pasta Recipe – Well, if you know how we roll around here, we are going to encourage you to eat a LITTLE bit healthier. This amazing, yet simple dinner for Shrimp Scampi with Pasta Recipe is made with the healthiest noodles ever. Spiralized zucchini noodles.

Of course, if you don’t have a spiralizer or love zucchini noodles, we have some other options for you!

Add More Vegetables to Shrimp Scampi with Pasta Recipe

For this delicious Shrimp Scampi with Pasta recipe, you can certainly make gluten free linguine (there are lots of whole grain options). However, we want to encourage you to add more vegetables to your plate by making zucchini noodles.

Does Your Kid Know About Zucchini Noodles?

Don’t worry, mine didn’t for years. Most kids would probably ask what the zucchini noodles were. But since I make zucchini pasta recipes rather frequently, there was no hesitation! Anyway, this dish is one of our favorite shrimp scampi with pasta recipes. The kids love it so much they have already asked me to make it again this week!

And for the record, if you do have someone in the house who is allergic to shrimp, you can easily substitute scallops. You’ll end up with a delicious scallop scampi.

How to Make the Perfect Shrimp Scampi with Pasta Recipe

Classic shrimp scampi recipes typically call for a lot of butter and a pretty hefty amount of garlic too. However, I was able to make the dish comply with our anti-inflammatory clean eating guidelines by eliminating the butter and using just extra virgin olive oil instead. As for the garlic, I used WAY more than what is called for in a conventional scampi recipe. And by way more I mean about eight times the normal amount.

Of course, if you’re not huge garlic fans, cut it down a bit… but let me tell you why lots of garlic is good for you.

We Added Lots of Garlic to this Shrimp Scampi with Pasta Recipe

I use lots of garlic for two reasons:

#1: Garlic has Tremendous Health Benefits

There is new research that shows garlic can help lower inflammation and fight obesity. So, whenever possible – add it to every single dinner entree you make!

#2: Garlic Makes this Shrimp Scampi with Pasta Recipe so Delicious!

All of the extra garlic is what makes this Shrimp Scampi with Pasta dish so savory and delicious. Be sure to follow the instructions and cook the garlic over medium heat (not high heat!) and stir constantly. You just have to be super careful not to let the garlic burn! Because trust me, nothing will ruin shrimp scampi with pasta faster than burned garlic.

Try Different Pastas for this Shrimp Scampi Recipe

As for the zucchini noodles, you could of course always swap those for whole grain pasta. Or, you could give zucchini noodles a chance and pair them with spaghetti or linguine noodles. We love the jovial brand of whole grain, gluten free pasta but thankfully there’s several brands to choose from now.

For us, we’re going to make every effort to add in more phytonutrients every single chance we can. So, for this recipe, we’re making ours with zucchini noodles.

    In step 2, this says to let the wine reduce to half but I don’t see wine on the ingredients list. How much should be added?

      Oh my, the original recipe creator may have missed the ingredient. My guess is to add 1/2 cup cooking wine to the liquids in step 2 and let it reduce before continuing to step 3. Keep me posted please and we’ll update the recipe card!

        I ended up not being the one to cook this so I don’t know if my daughter added wine or not. Either way it was very good! So thankful to find non dairy options that taste good.

      Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much for catching that mistake Joe. I am so sorry it took me a few days to get back to you too, we just had some major issues with the server so the blog has been down a lot and not working properly the last few days. Anyway, as for the recipe, it should be 1/4 cup minced garlic. I know that’s A LOT! of garlic, but I promise it tastes amazing =)
