This is an easy 15 minute Shrimp Scampi Pasta recipe that is a perfect meal for a busy weeknight.
I’ve been dying to use my new Curtis Stone 14″ Deep Multipurpose Pan for weeks now. It only took one HSN airing to realize I needed THAT pan! I was in desperate need of a new large non-stick skillet, and it did not disappoint. I decided to test this magnificent pan with my favorite shrimp pasta recipe to see if it could really hold all of the ingredients.
Depending on how much time you have, you can choose to buy the pre-peeled shrimp or peel and devein them yourself. This is the longest part of the process anyway – no judgement here!
After you saute the shrimp in the butter, mushrooms, olive oil, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, you’ll stir in the white wine and lemon juice. The delicious aroma will fill the kitchen. Once you add the fettuccine and garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese, its ready to serve! Add chopped fresh basil and parsley for an extra touch of flavor.

Recipe calls for red pepper flakes BUT doesn’t specify how much?

Hey Linda, sorry about that. I’ve updated the ingredients list to add the 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
