Comments from jinxycat :

This recipe is from an old friend, she got it from a cookbook by Giuliano Hazan. She changed it a bit, and I changed it a bit more. This is our favorite scampi. If you're serving with pasta, you can double everything but the shrimp (and the butter, if you're cutting back). It cooks really quickly, so get everything premeasured and set out right near you. Take care not to OVERCOOK the shrimp!
