Bacon Shrimp Fettucine Scampi – easy and tasty weeknight meal that comes ready in less than 30 minutes. Buttery, garlicky with an added bacon bits to take it to the next level! Don’t we all love shrimp scampi for its simplicity and rapidity – even for a hectic weeknight? I certainly do. In less than 30 minutes you and your family are sitting on the table, eating away – without fussing about the ingredients.
A typical shrimp scampi is made with shrimp, garlic, butter, lemon and wine. for a very buttery and garlicky sauce. I have tried several versions at restaurants and most of them – tasty. To me, you can’t mess this up.
I omitted wine in favor of chicken broth and for extra flavor added bacon. Now who doesn’t love bacon? It makes everything taste better! Right?- adding an extra oomph to this Italian American Classic dish. You may leave it out if you like. I sometimes do when I do not have any available.
Be careful when cooking your shrimp – investing a lot of money on shrimp only to have it turn out rubbery is one of those things that can seriously be depressing. Enjoy
