Shrimp Scampi over Garlic Spinach - VIDEO
Shrimp Scampi is a perfect example of a recipe that seems like it would be tricky to make, but in fact it's just the opposite. It's so quick and simple!
My only advice for this recipe is to be sure you have all your ingredients prepped ahead of time, because once you start cooking, it all comes together really fast.
*Update - Since the shooting this video, I've made this recipe many times using a lot less oil so I adjusted the written recipe. I figure why add the extra oil if it doesn't really need it, you know what I mean??
