Lemon Garlic Shrimp Scampi

So here is a little known fact about me.  I do not like shrimp.  Like at all.  But I really have never given it a chance.  I used to hate salmon and now it is my favorite thing to order.  My hubby on the other hand loves shrimp.  He is always asking me to make shrimp for dinner.  So I usually compromise and make shrimp a couple of times a month.

Shrimp scampi is such a classic and delicious meal so I decided to give it a go.  I don’t like shrimp and let me tell you.  I LOVED this meal!

Shrimp Scampi Recipe

This meal starts out with so many of my favorite flavors.  You first cook the shrimp in a butter lemon garlic sauce.  Is there even a better flavor combination that that?  I love shrimp because it seriously only takes minutes to cook.  You then top it with a parmesan herb bread crumb topping and broil the shrimp for a couple of minutes to get nice and crispy.

Scampi Sauce Recipe

The best part is adding the pasta to the shrimp and it gets coated in the buttery lemon garlic sauce.  It is to die for.

Basically.  If you don’t like shrimp you have got to give this recipe a try!  I couldn’t even believe how much I loved this meal!  All of the flavors are incredible and the crispy parmesan bread crumb coating on the shrimp is unbelievable good!   You guys are going to love this meal and you can create a restaurant quality meal right at home!
