Amazing Roasted Shrimp With Garlic

Like Surussell, We expected more flavour from the garlic than was actually delivered. Presentation of these was brillent (I used giant Gamba/Scampi and served this as a main course) but for the four entire heads of garlic I used for the 6 adults present, we were dissapointed when we peeled them that the taste was not as stunning as I had hoped for considering the reviews (we adore garlic, maybe we just anticipated too much since yes, roasted gasrlic is mellow compared to other ways of preparing it ?). Like other reviewers I will probably add some fresh herbs or something more to the mix to improve it next time. As usual I asked everyone at the table for a rating (they know my system), and two gave it a four and the other four gave it a three... the biggest comment was that several would have rated it higher if scampi were not so expensive... they thought that with the cost of the main ingredient that the flavour should have delivered more. Please see my rating system, this recipe gets a well deserved 3 stars. The bottom line is that for us these definiately tasted good enough to try again for a special occasion with some tweeking. Many thanks for the recipe

I thought this was fairly bland considering all the garlic in it. I should have done as some others did and add butter/ oregano/ parmesan or something to give it more flavor.

This was delicious. I served the shrimp over some angel hair pasta with Parmesan cheese on top and also had bread to sop up the extra juices. Thanks for posting.

I have tried this with fresh and with frozen shrimp, wonderful. The last time I added some oregano, GREAT RECIPE!
