I make this meal all the time for my family and they love it! I like to add tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms in my scampi! But you may add any vegetables/fresh herbs that you like

Steps

1 hour

1

In a large skillet, turn your flame on its lowest setting. Add olive oil, butter, red pepper flakes, garlic and lemon juice. Cook for 12mins or until garlic is golden brown. **this first step is essential in making your scampi because you need to give the garlic time to infuse into the oil**
2

Add in your halved cherry tomatoes
3

Chop your large portobello mushrooms and cook them on very high heat in a separate pan *if you cook them in the same pan as your scampi sauce the mushrooms will soak up the entire sauce*
4

Let cherry tomatoes cook in the scampi mixture for about 5-7mins. Then began to smash some of the tomatoes with a fork, in order to release all of its juices
5

Add raw shrimp into the scampi sauce and cook on low heat until shrimp are pink and tender
6

Taste a shrimp with the scampi sauce. Add salt/pepper to taste
7

Right before you put the hot pasta into the scampi sauce, add in the mushrooms & as much fresh spinach as you desire. **the hot pasta will wilt the spinach, no need to cook**
8

Toss your pasta with the veggies and scampi sauce & then serve hot
