This Grilled Shrimp Scampi Recipe is so easy to prepare and it’s healthier than most scampi’s. You will be tempted to serve it all the time.

So, fire up your grill good and hot and put a large pot of water on and get ready to have healthy Grilled Shrimp Scampi with Whole Wheat Linguine.

I would say this recipe serves four.

I hope you enjoy

Recipe after the photos:

Ingredients

• 1 pound whole wheat linguine
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• 1 large shallot, finely diced
• 5 cloves garlic, diced
• Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
• 1 pound large shrimp
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves

Directions

For the pasta, put a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When it has come to the boil, add a couple of tablespoons of salt and the linguini. Stir to make sure the pasta separates; cover. When the water returns to a boil, cook for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the pasta is not quite done. Drain the pasta reserving 1 cup of water.

While the grill is heating up combine all the above ingredients except for the linguine.

Let the shrimp soak in for just a few minutes, because the acid will make the shrimp tough.

Pour the shrimp on to the hot grill pan or grill wok and turn a few times over the next 8 to 10 minutes depending how hot your grill is. They are done once they turn pink.

Add the shrimp to the pan with the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over a bit more olive oil and serve immediately.
