This Greek Shrimp Scampi Recipe is a twist on a traditional classic. Sauteed shrimp with lemon, artichoke, and feta all over angel hair pasta!

This Shrimp Scampi Recipe can be done and ready to go in about 30 minutes, if not less. Shrimp is one of the fastest proteins to cook and angel hair pasta is also a speedy Gonzales ingredient to whip up. So what are you waiting for?

Shrimp Scampi Recipe Ingredients

The ingredients needed for this Shrimp Scampi Recipe are simple ones, all packed full of flavor! Here’s what you need:

• Angel Hair Pasta –this pasta cooks up super fast so make sure you set a timer for it. You can also use linguine noodles for this recipe.
• Garlic and Herb Saute Express Starter –you can find this at your local grocery store in a purple box (this is what it looks like). Alternatively, you can use a mixture of butter, olive oil, and herbs to saute as well.
• Onions and Shrimp –both of these are sauteed in the garlic herb mix! So good and so flavorful! Be sure to clean and devein the shrimp before cooking.
• Artichoke Hearts and Tomatoes –I used marinated artichoke hearts and cut up some fresh tomatoes. But you could always switch out fresh tomatoes for sun-dried tomatoes.
• Lemon Juice and Lemon Slices –lemon juice brightens this recipe while lemon slices are for show and are optional.
• Heavy Cream –I would recommend sticking to heavy cream and not half & half for this recipe. It’s thicker and yields a better sauce.
• Salt and Pepper –season to taste!
• Feta Cheese –Costco sells feta cheese for a good price! Perfectly Greek and scrumptious!
• Parsley –used as an optional garnish!

Variations

Make this shrimp scampi recipe your own by switching out different ingredients and customizing to your heart’s desire. Here are a couple of ideas to get you started:

• Protein:try switching out shrimp for scallops, crab, or lobster for a different type of flavor!
• Veggies: take some Greek ingredient pointers from this Greek Salad. Cucumbers, olives, and red onions are all staples.
• Artichoke: if you don’t like artichoke but are still looking for a healthy green, consider spinach!
