This was a great easy way for a delicious Scampi Recipe! Did not change a thing but am willing to try chicken next time because I think it would be great also. Thanks 2Bleu : )

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but I enjoyed this. My hubby however really liked it. I did add a bit extra garlic and paprika

This was a really quick and easy meal to fix. We had this for supper tonight along with steamed white rice and steamed brocolli. My DD ate two helpings and was wanting a third. We really enjoyed this thanks for sharing.

These are outstanding and truly easy to make. I did serve them with Simple Spaghetti Dish #256215 and it was a lovely combination. Yum.

5+ stars all the way. This is very tasty. I served it over Simple Spaghetti Dish but used angel hair pasta instead. This has a nice garlic, butter flavor to it. Not an overpowering taste. Thanks for posting.

This was great and easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly as written other then I didn't add the parsley as I am not a fan or the optional bread crumbs. I also used chicken broth instead of white wine as I didn't have any. This was enjoyed by the whole family.

Super easy, absolutely delicious and one of the prettiest dishes we have had the pleasure to photograph. Very rich. Made for PRMR August 2008.

Oh wow, wow, yummy, yummy, quick, flavorful, and did I mention yummy? I had to make a couple changes. I was only able to afford cooked tail-on, deveined frozen large shrimp (the 1lb bag was on sale). I decided to halve this recipe. While thawing the shrimp in a strainer, I snapped off the tails. I used 1/2 tsp paprika for approx 1/2 lb shrimp. I used 2 tsp jarred, minced garlic for the fresh. For the wine, I got one of those mini bottles of white wine (Sutter Home Chardonnay) and used 1/4 cup. I used a pinch of salt and a couple pinches black pepper. Instead of lemon wedges, I added 1 tsp of lemon juice along with the shrimp to the reduced wine mixture. I used the amt of olive oil called for and for the butter, I used the same amt called for, but used Smart Balance with Flaxsweed OIl spread. I also added 1tsp dried parsley flakes a few mins before the shrimp was removed from heat. I cooked the shrimp for several mins so it could steep in the sauce, even though they were already fully cooked. I'm really glad I made the full amt of "sauce". I served this atop Simple Spaghetti Dish for a very quick and flavorful supper. I would definitely make this again! Bf seemed to enjoy it, also. I made this for Please Review My Recipe. Thanks for sharing, Bird! Shrimp Scampi is one of my all-time fave dishes, so this will be a happy addition to my faves cookbook.

Awesome shrimp scampi. The paprika gives it that little punch of flavor and color. Really is quick and easy. I followed the reciep exactly except I skipped the optional bread crumbs as we served ours over linguini. Did use some fresh grated parmesan to top with.

This was AWESOME and so easy and quick. I made it on top of thin spaghetti and it went great. I used jumbo prawns that and added a bit more olive oil to coat the pasta. Thanks for sharing.
