I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp scampi turned out terrible. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was bland.

The sauce was a little too salty for my taste, but otherwise this recipe was great.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The shrimp are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is delicious. I like to add a little bit of white wine to the sauce for extra flavor.

This was a great recipe! I made it last night and my family loved it. It was easy to follow and the shrimp scampi turned out perfectly. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. Will definitely be making this again
