"MMMMMMM...this is good!" were my daughter's (she's 8)comments as we sat down to eat this the other afternoon. I was looking at the scampi recipes because I had some shrimp and I was really glad I found this one that didn't use white wine...since we don't have wine or other alcohol in the house...I followed the recipe to a "T" except I added garlic salt for the salt, a can of diced tomatoes, and a little more parsley. It was served over spaghetti and my family really enjoyed it! Leftovers were just as good the day after for lunch! Thanks for such a delicious, non-white wine recipe! It's a keeper!

I liked this recipe. I would have liked to take a big bowl of it with some crusty bread and gone off into a corner to eat it all myself! The shrimp were swimming in the sauce so for next time, I would strain off the shrimp and keep the left over sauce in a separate container to be used as a dipping sauce, if someone wanted to do that.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
