Shrimp Scampi

As requested, I prepared Dylan one of his new, favorite dishes last night. I made Shrimp Scampi for the first time for the family a month or so ago and everyone loved it. I use to cook this all the time before David and I had kids. In fact, I kind of forgot about this recipe until Dylan encouraged me to cook more dishes with shrimp in it. He loves Shrimp....he could be Bubba Gump's twin, he'll eat shrimp prepared any which way.

Serve this over hot buttered noodles, rice or linguine. Linguine is our favorite choice. Serve with crusty bread and your favorite salad to complete the meal.
