This recipe reminds of my childhood. I am glad that there are still recipes existing that do not change much in the original recipes. This is one classic dish you’ll definitely love. You have to try this shrimp scampi. I’m sure you won’t regret this!
Our friend over at The Pioneer Woman has this to say about this recipe:
“Anyway, the whole thing just reminds me of Shrimp Scampi, the classic late seventies/early eighties throw-together meal of shrimp, butter, garlic, and lemon. I throw in wine (of course) and a dash or two of hot sauce in an effort to be weird, but it’s hard to do too much to improve on the original.”
I remember Grandma making this when I was a kid. It’s one of those dishes I didn’t know the name. Hahaha. Mom didn’t make this much because we’re really more of a meat-loving family. But whenever she did, I made sure to eat a lot. I didn’t have a recipe of this, which is why I’m glad I found this one. I just adjusted a few of the ingredients, but otherwise I followed every step! And this is one delicious meal!
