The Best Garlic Shrimp in the Whole Wide World

This was a highly flavorful dish. I made this tonight for my mom, my husband and my 2 and 4 year old children. The only one who didn't eat much was my 4 year old...but he doesn't eat much anyway. My 2 year old ate about 10 shrimp all by herself. My mom and I give this 5 stars...my husband gives it 4.5 stars. I pretty much followed the recipe to the T. I didn't have the full amount of parsley so ended up using about 1/3 of a cup. I also used a lot more garlic than the recipe called for just to suit my families taste. I served this over spaghetti and the amount of sauce was perfect to coat a pound of spaghetti. The only change I would probably make next time is to cut the amount of oil and butter and add in some dry white wine to offset the liquid needed. It was a slight bit oily for us...but it didn't detract at all from the amazing flavor. This is a true 5 star recipe and will be a keeper in my house. I served this with Chopped Italian Salad from this website. What a magnificent dinner!!!! Thank you for posting.

Quick and easy.... just like I love! After cooking up the shrimp in the skillet, I added a can of corn, carrots and about 2 1/2 cups cooked rice. Mixed it all and served. Delish! TY for sharing.

When I read this recipe I thought... wow, that's a lot of garlic and parsley. But I made it... hoping that it wasn't like some where it's so garlicky that that is all you taste. Well, the parsley, gotta use fresh, and the garlic balanced each other perfectly. Every flavor came through brillantly! There's a lot of oil and butter left so I cooked up 8 oz. of linguine and just added that at the end to absorb the same flavors. My family loved it. I think next time I will add a little white sauce and see what I come up with. Thanks Bethany!

I used a half recipe and served it as a first course for a company dinner. I added a few shakes of red pepper flakes to the shrimp when it was marinading and that worked out real well.
