For those wondering how to make the spaghetti like the image, make extra marinade and set it aside separately for the pasta. Finish the spaghetti in a large, deep frying pan with the extra marinade. Just a quick hot fry; enough to blend the flavors.

Best shrimp on the grill I have ever made! I served with Recipe # 125120-lemon spaghetti and had grilled asparagus on the side. The intense garlic flavor really complimented the lemony flavor of the pasta. Thanks for posting!

is it shrimp or scampi? Two completely different things. Also for this grilling time, what size are the shrimp?

Great recipe with lots of flavor! My DH who is a steak man has changed his mind and says this is better than a steak.......now that says something!

Delicious marinade. I marinaded the shrimp for 30 minutes before grilling. I loved the flavor, though next time I may use more garlic. Definitely a keeper.
