    This recipe is fantastic. It has the same great taste of shrimp scampi without all of the butter. I used white wine instead of the vermouth and I served it over some whole wheat pasta. Delicious! My husband loved it too. - 6/17/08

    hubby had to work a double, dinner was just for me, and boy did this recipe make that the best dinner in months. Awesome. I used a tbsp of extra virgin olive oil instead of the vermouth, as I am unable to have any type of liquor. I also used salt subsstitute. Just wonderful turn out. - 10/28/09

    My husband and I LOVED it. Substituted regular white cooking wine and had it over white rice (bad I know) but we had it with a salad too and it was so YUMMY! - 3/4/08

    I made this with cooking sherry instead of the vermouth, served it over angel hair pasta. My daughter, who does not eat shrimp, even liked it. - 2/27/08
