MMMMM Shrimp!!!

Shrimp Scampi

Now, this is by no means something that should be eaten frequently!! It is, as they say, a "heart attack on a plate", but oh, so good!!! I've made it with only 2 T butter and 4 T non-fat, low sodium chicken broth, and switched from vegetable oil to olive oil, in an attempt to make it healthier, but this, the original recipe, is so much tastier. The skinnier version will do in a pinch!

Now, without further adieu, here is the recipe!
