This is the first time I have ever cooked, or eaten for that matter, shrimp. I LOVED it! The flavor was really amazing. I used 5 cloves of garlic, italian parsley (fresh) and in a separate pan I sauteed some mushrooms in some olive oil, garlic, white wine, salt & pepper, and added them right at the end. All I had in the house was fettucini noodles, next time I will make sure to use the angle hair as I think it would have been a better match for the recipe. This was a big hit in my house. Thanks for the post, I will be serving this again.

This was fast,easy,tasted excellent, and even looked elegant. I plan to make this recipe again for company. I did add the fresh parsley and fresh Parmesan cheese as suggested by the recipe poster, which I think were essential ingredients. I did not add anything extra, although if you adore garlic, I see no reason why you couldn't add even more. A winner of a recipe!

Excellent and easy! We have an abundance of shrimp on the US Gulf Coast. I usually like mine fried, but I've gone on a healthier eating program and eliminated white flours. This was a pleasing recipe, even with omitting the red pepper (due to personal preferences). I served it over brown basmati rice and used the dried parsley.

A wonderful scampi recipe that certainly was quick and easy to prepare. Delicious by itself or over pasta. For my personal taste I will either decrease the amount of olive oil and increase the butter slightly or eliminate the olive oil and just use butter. Only a personal preference. I liked the zing that the crushed red pepper flakes added and I used the dried parsley also. Great flavor. Thanks

I'm a recent college graduate out in the "real world"! Being a poor college student, I had to sacrifice a lot of life's luxuries, but never cooking. I love food and flavor too much! I was born in Louisiana and now live in Texas, so I love spicy foods and southern cooking.
