    As someone who works in a meat department, the shrimp you buy from the service case is 100% the same shrimp from the frozen isle. We just cut the bags open and fill them with water to thaw the shrimp. A lot of seafood comes in frozen, but the beef/pork side should be cut fresh every day. Key word 'Should' lol

    Just made the easy version with angel hair after shoveling snow all day. It was surprisingly easy and very forgiving.

If I had used salted butter I wouldn’t have to salt it at all.

    It's funny how this dish doesn't seem to exist here in Europe at all. I've never seen it on a menu. However, we do have deep fried scampi, which are basically scampi nuggets, battered/breadcrumbed and fried, usually served with chips (fries). Those are absolutely gorgeous. They're basically little lobster nuggets. You always squeeze a lemon over them which adds a ton of flavour, and dip them in tartare sauce. Mmm. I've always wanted to try this scampi pasta dish though too, so thank you for making a video about it.

    Absolute perfection. It boggles my mind every time how the sauce is mostly broken and oily until I add the pasta water and it turns into a creamy sauce that’s almost like magic with how it thickens.
    The only thing I omit from the complex version is the additional herbs and red pepper flakes. I also cut down a little on the parsley since everyone else I make it for isn’t as big a fan as I am, but it’s still delicious. Thank you so much!
