"I made this dish for the first time and it was easy and delicious, restaurant guality. I did a few things different. More garlic, we're garlic freaks, regular real salted butter, not clarified, added one yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced and about 6 sliced white mushrooms. I sauted the peppers and shrooms, aldente, in a little olive oil ahead of time and added them to the pan along with shrimp and green onions. I also added maybe 1/4 cup grated parm cheese. I added angel hair pasta, after cooked aldente, straight into the shrimp mixture, tossed lightly and served with green salad and sour sough bread. OMG AWSOME! I think it could work with clams or scallops too. Yummie ;)"
