Submitted by Hopkins82

"Classic Scampi with the flare of shallots. If you don't prefer or favor lemon, you can reduce the lemon amount or omit it all together. Tried it either way, and they are both great!"

Good taste! Too much lemon tho'. Next time I would try only 2 tbs. I didnt use shallots (didnt have any), and I didnt use that much wine. I just poured some in, probably about 1/4 - 1/2 cup. Good flavor and hit the spot! Thanks :)
