Very good and easy. I used raw shrimp which I cooked right in the butter and oil. I needed to make enough to cover a box of pasta so i increased the ingredients by 8. Except the Italian seasoning which I used about one teaspoon. I also added a little red pepper flakes to spice it up. Topped it off with parm cheese.

Would make it again making changes I made. Saute garlic in olive oil, rather than butter, eliminate lemon juice, use more garlic.

I added some chopped onion and red peppers to the garlic and oil. I also added more shrimp and left out the lemon juice. It was heavenly.

Was absolutely delicious, but hated having to try to triple the recipe. I'm terrible at math! What is 3 time 1/8???
