This Greek Shrimp Scampi Recipe is a twist on a traditional classic. Sauteed shrimp with lemon, artichoke, and feta all over angel hair pasta!
I made a super awesome and deliciously easy dinner incorporating some of my favorite things: pasta, shrimp, lemon, garlic, and herbs. It clearly doesn’t take much to keep my tummy happy. 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!
How to Make Shrimp Scampi
This shrimp scampi recipe really is an easy one! Boil pasta, saute onions and shrimp, then toss with all the other ingredients. For full details see the recipe card down below.
- Get your water boiling and your pasta cooking. Then grab your Garlic & Herb Sauté Express® Sauté Starter and get it melting in a big skillet with high sides. Be sure to melt the squares over medium heat.
- Anyways, you’re going to want to cook your onions down and then add in your shrimp until pink and cooked through!
- To avoid overcooking, remove from the heat and then add in your artichoke hearts, diced tomatoes, cooked pasta, and cream.
- Toss it all together, top with feta cheese and parsley and that’s dinnah!
It’s easy, tangy, creamy, and light! Perfect for spring and easy enough for the humongously pregnant to pull off. Virtual high fives for that!

I’d make a simple sautéed chicken dish with this!
My twist on a weeknight dinner and one of our favorite family meals is Chicken Fajita Pizza – I use homemade pizza crust, salsa to replace the typical red sauce, cook chicken, onions, peppers with fajita seasoning. Put it all together with some cheese (I use what I have on hand – typically cheddar or colby jack). Serve with a side of guacamole, sour cream – Delicious!!
Shrimp and veggie stir fry. Mmmmm.
I would love to try fajitas!

I would make a stir fry with lots of fresh veggies and some chicken with the Sauté Express starter! I can’t wait to find it into grocery store!
I’ve been adding avocados to a lot of my recipes lately, like mac-n-cheese, hummus, and smoothies. I’ve also been substituting Meyer lemons for regular lemons, and I’m always amazed by what a big difference such a little change makes!
For the saute starter, I think the garlic and herb one would be perfect for so many dishes. Chicken comes to mind first, maybe used to sear before braising. Yum, so many possibilities!
Thanks for the opportunity!!
I would love to try out a tilapia dish with the sauté express.
I make pasta alfredo with chicken often. I think I could use this saute starter to cook the chicken and the mushrooms in before tossing in with the pasta and sauce!

“What would you make with Sauté Express® Sauté Starter?”
I would make a stir fry using chicken or steak with onions, peppers, grated carrots, and corn. I’d brown the meat but not cook it througly, then I’d put the saute starter in the pan and I’d add all my veggies, then add the meat back in to finish it off with just a bit of worcestershire or soy sauce and then pile it all on rice when it was finished!
I want to use the savory butter and olive oil one on a slab of salmon (in the beautiful pan!) then make tostadas with arugula, some Havarti and an avocado sauce.
I’d try it on some bread to make garlic and herb bread! 🙂
I like to mix sweet and savory for dinner, love to experiment with thinks like cranberry sauce on a steak sandwich and adding sauteed apples to chicken dishes is always good!

Twist on the classic meatloaf… saute onions and mushrooms in garlic and herb saute starter and smother the meatloaf 10 minutes before it’s done cooking with the veggies and then top with cheese.
I would use it in mashed potatoes. It’s always a bit of a pain to roast garlic or at least mince it for mashed potatoes, so it would be nice to have it all incorporated into the butter already. Sounds yummy!
I love the idea of shrimp scampi! This would make it so easy! Yum!
I would make a chicken and pasta dish.
Grilled Halibut or stuffed Dover Sole with white wine, lemon, butter, Saute Starter sauce and sauted veggies, rice pilaf. YUM!
I would make some kind of a lemony pasta with lemon chicken.
This meal looks absolutely fantastic! We loooove shrimp scampi.
We also love alfredo sauce…so, a new take would be to use the garlic and herb (or Italian herb) saute starter instead of plain butter. I’d probably toss some shrimp in for good measure. I usually top by boyfriend’s with chicken, but we’re eating less meat…so shrimp it is.
This is making me hungry…and I just ate. 🙂
I think it would be great for cooking squash fritters!
I’m going to check these Saute’ Starters out with fish…cod & tilapia. They’d be great!
I would make that Greek Shrimp Scampi. That looks so delicious!
Spaghetti has always been a go-to here, but I have a friend who just introduced me to spaghetti pizza. You can use leftover noodles and sauce and you put inside a homemade garlic bread of sorts and eat it like a sandwich. It’s fancier than I type it here, but I intend on trying it!
I want to make this recipe, it sounds divine!
Garlic and herb saute express would make a great start for chicken marsala.
MMMMM

I have made lots of chicken over the last few weeks with the herb and garlic saute starter. So good! Lately I’ve been adding more veggies to it too. Yum!!
I finally saw the Saute Express in my grocery store last week. I think it would be great to just saute some chicken or use it with some vegetables.
