Last Updated: Jun 15, 2018 | 9 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

If you like shrimp scampi but want something more than just plain shrimp with butter, olive oil and garlic, then try this Shrimp Scampi Linguine Pasta with Sun-Dried tomatoes.    You’ll love this yummy twist – the addition of sun-dried tomatoes to shrimp scampi.

This recipe is easy and quick, and the cooking method is simple.  First, shrimp is cooked with sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes.  Then it’s tossed with linguine pasta. Both pasta and shrimp are smothered in a light, flavorful shrimp scampi sauce.

Shrimp recipes can get boring and repetitive: shrimp and garlic and butter, shrimp with herbs, etc.  Sometimes I want something more than just shrimp and garlic.

What I found is that shrimp goes really well with sun-dried tomatoes, and I experimented with these ingredients in several recipes, such as in this Garlic Shrimp and Sun-Dried Tomatoes with Pasta in Spicy Cream Sauce and in this Shrimp Pasta with Creamy Mozzarella Sauce.  Not surprisingly, I am using sun-dried tomatoes in this shrimp scampi linguine and it works really well!
