Description

A touch more lemon helped me trim the calories in our favorite shrimp scampi recipe. For those who want to indulge, pass around the Parmesan. —Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts

Excellent and easy. Janet. VFE

The lemon and the pepper were both overpowering so Ill cut back on them, but overall it was good.

Tastes great! My whole family loves this!!

This recipe is as delicious as it is pretty. It is impressive and good to the last bite. Anything with shrimp in my book is worth a try. This one did NOT disappoint! I think this would be a great simple meal to throw together for dinner guests. They will be glad you did.

This is a very light, tasty recipe that my whole family enjoyed. My family doesnt love seafood, so I substituted shredded rotisserie chicken for the shrimp. But I definitely think it would be just as delicious with the shrimp!

I think this recipe is delicious, have made it twice for my family and they love it. Added some frozen peas to it also.

I agree with Beema--I am a shrimpaholic. This is an awesome recipe. I liked how the lemon and red pepper complemented each other. Perfect for a summer dinner.

Any thing with shrimp is going to catch my attention, and this one was a huge success. Did not change a thing. added the optional Parm, and declared this one a winner.
