Overall, I thought this scampi dish was pretty good. The sauce was tasty and the chicken and shrimp were cooked well. However, I found it to be a bit too oily for my taste.

This scampi dish was pretty good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken and shrimp were cooked well. I would make it again, but I would probably add a few more spices to the sauce.

I tried this scampi recipe and it was just okay. The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, and the chicken and shrimp were a bit dry.

This scampi dish was a disaster! The sauce was watery and tasteless, and the chicken and shrimp were rubbery. I would not recommend this recipe.
