This way of preparing shrimp scampi is easier than the classic method, requiring less preparation and cooking time, which is why it works so well at the firehouse. I come from a family of five children, so we didn’t eat shrimp very often, but when we did, my mom made it like this and we loved it. In fact, it was my sister Laura’s favorite dish. My sister Mary had a handwritten copy of the recipe and gave it to me for this book. Thanks, Mom, we miss you!
