Shrimp Scampi with Linguine

Shrimp Scampi

ROMANCING THE SHRIMP

There is nothing more romantic than shrimp scampi. This quick and easy recipe makes an excellent candlelight dinner for two.

Due to the content of garlic, this is not recommended for a first date but perhaps for a five or ten year anniversary. You should know each other pretty good by then.

You'll enjoy these delicious little morsels smothered in garlic and butter. For a little added flavor I like using long green onions and red pepper flakes to liven up the dish a bit.

Shrimp scampi is one of the most popular shrimp recipes you can make. Served over a plate of linguine will only add to this elegant dish.
