Sage Brown Butter seemed like a natural way to build this Shrimp Scampi dish.
It’s well noted on the pages of Lemony Thyme that Sage Brown Butter is something I’m passionate about. The best way to describe it…’sensual.’ Definition ‘sen-su-al’ adjective: “relating to or consisting in the gratification of the senses or the indulgence of appetite.”

This was absolutely delicious, thank you!! I had a bunch of sage from the farmer’s market and was looking for a recipe. My husband and I both loved it!
Yummo
Could we serve the shrimp w wild rice instead of pasta ??
Absolutely. I could eat just the shrimp by themselves they’re do delicious. Hope you enjoy them.
I made Sage Brown Butter recipe with Shrimp and it was a huge hit with my entire family. Even my picky 5 year old and 2 year old ate every last bite! I will make again and again. The crispy sage was unreal. Thank you for this wonderfully easy and tasty meal. I will be making many more of your meals in future.
Thank you so much Britta. I love hearing that a family enjoys one of our recipes. I really appreciate your feedback!!
