We generally serve this an an appetizer, but you could use this as a main dish. Serving sizes are for entree portions, not appetizers. This recipe uses fresh shrimp, not frozen. For the simplest recipes, fresh is best!!!

This scampi was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

This scampi was a bit bland for my taste. The sauce was creamy, but it lacked flavor. The shrimp were also a bit overcooked. I would recommend adding more spices and cooking the shrimp for less time next time.
