We love this recipe. I have made it many times. Instead of chicken, I used brocolli. Shrimp and broccolli scampi.....what a great meal!! Thanks for the recipe. -
This was super easy and fast to make. My whole family liked it (which is a rare occurance at my house). Thank you for the great recipe! Next time I will probably add a bit more garlic and some lemon to add more flavor.

I like quick easy meals and this definitely qualifies. The fact that it's tasty as well is a bonus. I used cooked frozen cocktail shrimp as this was what I had in the freezer, and added about 1 cup of bay scallops. Sprinkle with a little fresh grated parmesan. MMMMMMM Wonderful.

I made this last night and it was pretty good. It could have used a little more flavor, but I was too tired after work to go looking through my cabinets for something to add. My husband loved it-- I made it with chicken since shrimp isn't on our budget right now, and the chicken came out very nice and moist. I would definatley try it again, and maybe throw something else in there to give it more zip.
