This is absolutely mediocre. Gently saute garlic in olive oil, add dry shrimp & cook briefly. Add paprika & parsley. Toss and lower heat. Don't overcook! Same ingredients but gently cooking the garlic gives it better flavor. Don't waste money on shrimp for this mediocre recipe.

This is a good, fast recipe for shrimp scampi. I did miss the white wine and lemon juice, so next time I will simply add that to the last few minutes of cooking. I served it atop salad greens. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

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.
