Shrimp Scampi with Spaghetti is a light, flavorful pasta built around tender shrimp and a bright garlic butter sauce with fresh lemon. The spaghetti catches just enough of the sauce to keep each bite smooth and savory, with a simple finish that lets the shrimp stand out. It’s quick to make, easy to serve, and works well for both weeknight dinners and relaxed meals with guests.
