This is an easy to prepare recipe with amazing flavor. I added some lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and added fresh parsley for garnish.

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.
