Shrimp Scampi
I love this retro dish. The girls love shrimp, so this is an easy start to a meal or alongside Simple Tomato Sauce. In North America shrimp scampi means shrimp cooked in garlic butter. In Italy scampi is more like a lobster. Everyone has their own way of making scampi. Double everything but the shrimp if you want lots of sauce to dip fresh bread.
