Shrimp Scampi

With only a few simple ingredients that add up to a whole lot of flavor, this Shrimp Scampi takes no time and could quickly become a new family favorite. Shrimp cook in minutes and they need only the slightest bit of love from you to transform into an irresistible dish. After tossing them in the pan with a pat of butter and chopped garlic, I sprinkle on a touch of lemon juice and some minced parsley to brighten the flavor and voila, dinner’s ready!
