Very fast and very good. Quick lunch when somebody shows up unexpected.

There was nothing to this - yes, it was good, but now what? When would you serve it? There are so many more interesting things to do with shrimp.

Unfortunately, one of my sons is deathly allergic to seafood, so I only make this when he is not here. It's awesome though, and we love it. We will definitely be keeping this recipe.

Any shrimp scampi dish that does not have dry white wine included in the ingredient list is very flat.
