Shrimp Scampi

I love shrimps. I think they are one of the most yummy of all sea foods. This is one of the easier recipe and is great for a romantic sea-food meal with (or for) your better (or worse??) half. I made it yesterday but don't get any ideas...lol. I am surprised that someone got this recipe right through the hints and that someone is Tarini. Let's get to the recipe straightaway...
