Olive Garden Shrimp Scampi is a delightfully light dish served over angel hair pasta with shrimp, garlic, butter & pasta – you’ll love it! via @foodhussy
One thing a lot of folks love at Olive Garden is their Shrimp Scampi. It’s such a classic dish and it’s buttery and garlicky! It’s such a delicious and light dinner – you’ll love it!!!!

I have always had a deep love for the Olive Garden. If you didn’t know (haha) I’m originally from Iowa and spent a lot of time in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids and have to say – Olive Garden was a big friggin deal! It was one of the places me and my bestie would go at least twice a month!!!

How to make Olive Garden Shrimp Scampi recipe

This dish is a breeze to make! It goes together so quickly – you start the pasta water and as it’s starting to boil – get started by sauteeing onion and garlic – then you add the butter and wine – reduce – add raw shrimp and you’re done! Since you’re using angel hair pasta – it only takes 4-5 minutes to boil.

How to make Shrimp Scampi without wine? 

You can easily swap out chicken broth for the wine. I’m not a drinker so I bought one of those mini-bottles of wine to use just for this. Or if you’re wondering which wine you should use? Just go for a cheap white wine – chardonnay is great! 
 

Can you freeze Olive Garden Shrimp Scampi? 

I wouldn’t. Shrimp is such a quick cooking seafood – and the whole dish comes together quickly – you’re going to be much better off not freezing it and having it fresh. What about reheating shrimp scampi? It’s ok – but the sauce might separate a little and be very buttery – still good as long as you like butter! haha

    This recipe was good; in order to be more ‘authentic’, I added asparagus tips, some zucchini and red bell pepper. I added just a touch more garlic and since my husband loves his pasta saucy, I didn’t do a reduction on the liquid. With the addition of the vegetables it gave a little more oomph to the overall recipe which is basically a good one.
