We often eat at the Olive Garden, and my favorite is the sicilian scampi...YOU Nailed this!!! I didnt change a thing, only added fresh ground black pepper to the final display, and it was as close to olive garden's as it could be... I made it at home for the kids..it didnt last 5 min (3 teenagers) and was a huge hit! Kudos to you we'll be making this on weekends when the kids are all here... THANKS!

I was born and raised in Utah.
I was a graphic designer for ten years for a local school district. I have since moved on but still enjoy doing that for fun.
I love to cook, read, listen to music, craft things. I don't think I really have a favorite cookbook.
But if I had to pick it would be one that was written up by women in the area with home recipes. I think those are the best. Probably one of the reasons I enjoy Recipezaar so much.
