This was an excellent Scampi! I did add just a drop more lemon, but I like a little shrimp with my lemon ;] Thanks for sharing another outstanding recipe!

Great recipe! We loved it! My only suggestion is that the sauce was not nearly enough for the shrimp. IMHO, the recipe's quantities are perfect for 1/2 lb shrimp if you want to "sit them" to marinade, at least if you use small ones.

The only problem we had with this recipe was it wasn't all you can eat! What a nice dinner. Lovely flavors, simple to cook and absolutely what we were looking for in a Friday night dinner.<br/>I could eat a big bucket of these while watching a sunset on the porch. Thanks!
