Shrimp is one of those foods that just seems to be a treat, regardless of how we eat it. We may enjoy it boiled, boiled or fried but one way that is always a crowdpleaser is to have shrimp scampi. After all, it is the perfect combination of flavors that makes it an ideal appetizer or even as a side on our plate.
Although most of us enjoy shrimp scampi, many of us tend to avoid making it because we feel that the recipe is too difficult. That is about to change. This delicious lemon garlic shrimp scampi is not only fantastic to eat, it only takes 10 minutes to make. Try making this for dinner tonight or surprise your family this weekend with the ultimate appetizer. They will think that you slaved over it for a long time but your secret is sure to keep a smile on your face.
