Shrimp Scampi
"I picked up this recipe a couple of years ago at the seafood counter of my local grocery store. I've decided to post it here so I never lose it. It is so easy and quick to prepare but with a ton of flavor. I think the Old Bay Seasoning in the key. Of course, you must love garlic too. Enjoy!"

Excellent and healthy with a few changes. For four people I doubled the shrimp, cut the oil in half and doubled everything else. Next time I'll cut the shrimp into thirds so that there's shrimp in every bite. I served this over whole wheat pasta and we loved it! The Old Bay Seasoning and the lemon are tasty and essential. Serve with a vegetable or salad. This was so easy -- I've already gotten requests to make it again! Thanks Love2Experiment for a great recipe! -
This was good. I tripled the recipe as my family loves shrimp. They were good hot and cold. I didn't add the parsley and they smelled so good- I forgot to add the lemon. Will make again. Made for Fall PAC 2007.

I love to collect cookbooks. I especially like to find old cookbooks at thrift stores and garage sales. Some of the best recipes I've tried are from the little cookbooks you can buy by the checkstand at the grocery store. As most cooks have, I've been collecting recipes from newspapers, magazines, friends, etc. for the past 25+ years. I'm currently in the process of organizing them into binders (not a small task). It's great seeing again what I've collected and finding recipes I haven't tried in years, discovering how my tastes have changed, or finding those that I wanted to try but haven't because they've been buried in the file cabinet for so long. I'll have to live to be 150 to try all the recipes I've saved but haven't yet tried.
