Shrimp Scampi is one of Olive Garden’s longest-running seafood entrées: shrimp sautéed in a garlic sauce and served over angel hair pasta. It’s lighter than most of the menu’s creamy entrées and has been a fixture for years, which is why it gets asked about so often.

What’s in Olive Garden’s Shrimp Scampi?

The dish is simple by design:

• Shrimp — sautéed with garlic
• Angel hair pasta — the lightest pasta on the menu
• Garlic sauce — a lighter, butter-garlic style sauce rather than a heavy cream sauce

At 490 calories for the dinner portion, it’s one of the lighter entrées at Olive Garden — compare that to Chicken Alfredo at 1,480 calories or the Tour of Italy at 1,550.

Shrimp Scampi vs Chicken Scampi

Don’t confuse the two — Olive Garden sells both. Shrimp Scampi ($21.29) is shrimp over angel hair in garlic sauce. Chicken Scampi ($21.29) is the same price but swaps the shrimp for chicken and runs 1,050 calories. If you’re choosing between them, the shrimp version is dramatically lighter for the same money.

Is Shrimp Scampi worth it?

For seafood lovers, yes — it’s one of the few genuinely light entrées on a menu built around cream sauces and cheese. At $21.29 it sits in the middle of the entrée range (most run $15–$22), and the lunch-sized version at $12.49 is one of the better lunch deals on the menu.

The main thing to know going in: it’s a light dish. If you want something filling, the 2 for $25 deal or a pasta like Fettuccine Alfredo gives you more food for similar money — but at a much higher calorie cost.
