This could also be served over white kidney beans that had be soaked in garlic and salt water over night and then boiled in salt water with onion and bay leaves for about 1 1/2 hours. This can be done in a large batch and then you can keep them covered in the fridge to use in dishes during the week. It takes more effort, but they taste so much better that the canned. The cannned will do if you are in a pinch though.

Yum!! I bet I could use this on salada?

I made this last night and it was so delicious! My whole family raved about it! I am not a big seafood eater but I like shrimp and lobster. Plus, I have never made shrimp scampi before, so I was intrigued.

I recommend this to anyone who loves to feel like they are being "naughty" but are staying right on track! Thanks for posting the recipe!

a great side to this that keeps it at Phase One is spaghetti squash! It's just like spaghetti, but easier to cook. just add some butter spread of your choice, salt, pepper and parmesan.

That sounds really good! I am going to try that tonight with the spaghetti squash thanks for the great receipe!
