    Yummy lemony goodness! The whole fam loved it. I threw in a couple extra cloves of garlic and the picture looks like it has some lemon zest so I went ahead and threw some in. I served it with Lemon-Asparagus pasta from health.com and a simple salad. Tastes better than butter filled scampi! - 9/13/14

    Made this as an appetizer and it almost had more rave reviews than the entrée. My Dad will fix it without the additions in the frig and this is what we would snack on. A fond memory that will be shared with many. - 7/29/17
