Poured the extra butter/lemon sauce over some yellow rice, put that over some steamed broccoli. Topped it with the shrimp and surrounded the whole thing with asparagus stems. So good.

This was a very simple & tasty dish. I did sprinkle a little Old Bay seasoning over shrimp. The person who added more chili powder must not have used the red pepper flakes. There definitely is a difference. Very good - YUM. Will make again.

Wow - fantastic recipe.  Thanks for sharing.  BUT - use light butter - no way - I used 100% sweet butter and the only other change I made was I used cayenne pepper instead of the pepper flakes - am not a fan of too spicy.

This is the BEST recipe we've had in a very long time. It's quick, tasty and best of all low in calories. We did however serve it over Chinese noodles which one must consider but it's still low calories. We love the lemony garlic flavor. Of course leftovers if there are any are simply delicious.

To my taste, it is a little too spicy with the red pepper. I would eliminate it completely. The rest of the ingredients are very good. I served it with rice and a green salad.

This was a litle too salty but otherwise good. I'll make it again but maybe reduce or eliminate some of the ingredients.

Very good. It's hard to beat butter, lemon and garlic with shrimp. I can't bring myself to cook with light butter so I used regular butter. I know that increased the calories and fat, but it was worth it. We had this with rice and salad and it was fantastic. The portion size is laughably small, but even with the butter it is still healthy enough to have more than one serving. I will certainly make this again.
