Shrimp Scampi results

UPDATE:

Personally, I didn't find this recipe garlicky or lemony enough. It wasn't bad, it was just mediocre for my taste. Next time, I will add about 2 more cloves garlic and maybe another Tbsp of lemon juice.

Here are my nicely prepped main ingredients. 2 lbs. of large shrimp, juice of 1 lemon, 1 large shallot, and 1/4 cup of chopped parsley.

Mmmmmm, the kitchen smells sooo good while you're sauteeing the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes. The aroma even pulled my husband away from the tv! Kinda like in old cartoons when they levitate towards the smell by their noses.

Make sure not to overcook the shrimp. I personally like the texture of shrimp when they are just slightly starting to turn pink and opaque. This shrimp is good enough to eat on it's own...but I need my carbs. I'm kind of a carbs junkie. No meal is complete for me without rice, pasta, or bread.

Voila! Shrimp Scampi with Linguine a la Tyler Florence! It was tasty but needed something more for my palate. I tried adding more lemon juice and some garlic salt but it's still missing something. However, it was a hit with my husband!
