Did you know scampi is a Venetian dialect word for a local prawn, rarely found in American markets. So Italian-American cooks use shrimp instead, cooking it with a little garlic.

Thank you for a lighter version of a favorite dish! I had this with "Michael's Caesar Salad", and garlic bread. The family has asked me to make this meal a regular. Thanks again!

PS- You can't go wrong with fresh strawberries for dessert ;-)

Wanted some scampi and made this tonight. I didn't change a thing except I had Chardonnay open. I had one pound of shrimp so I reduced the amount of garlic to two cloves. Really delicious! I am hoping some leftovers make it until tomorrow, but I don't know... :) Hope you like the picture.
