SHRIMP SCAMPI - LOW FAT
This is verbatim from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. I prefer using multiple color onions to give it a little flair, serving it over pasta, and with a green vegetable. Scampi is a term often used in restaurants to describe a dish made with large shrimp that are prepared with garlic, oil or butter, then broiled in a shallow ramekin. This easy version is cooked in a skillet.
