Prep time: 20 minutes

I enjoy Shrimp Scampi served with zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice...simply use o your favorite sides.

A generous sprinkle of fresh herbs and optional Parmesan takes it to a new level.

It makes a fantastic meal that is nutritious and amazingly delicious.

Tip: Shrimp cook super fast, so make sure everything is ready to go before you turn on the heat. While they are easy to cook, they also easy to over cook, which leads to chewy, rubber like shrimp instead of the tender garlic butter shrimp we dream about.
