Shrimp Scampi Anne

Submitted by MSnow

"I found this recipe one on the Internet years ago and make it quite often. It comes from the "Voila!" cookbook by the Junior League of Lafayette, Louisiana. I thought it was kind of interesting that this recipe called for bay shrimp, which is a coldwater, west coast shrimp, so that got me wondering about the true origins of this recipe. I'd love to try it some day with coldwater shrimp, if I could only get it fresh, but it's still excellent with our wonderful gulf coast brown shrimp."

Excellent. Used a ceramic casserole to cook the shrimp in. The shrimp came out perfectly cooked. I was concerned about the relatively long cooking time. I served it over rice and will make it again.
