This is a very good, and easy to make recipe. If you prefer a little more mellow garlic flavor, I recommend a marinade of 1 tablespoon evoo, 2 microplaned garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Toss shrimp in marinade and refrigerate for 1 hour before cooking.

Very tasty and beautiful dish. I cut down a little on the lemon juice and added cherry tomatoes. This is a great recipe when you have to rely on pantry and freezer for a quick dinner. Thank you, Meredith F.!
