My Thoughts:  Turns out, I forgot to top our shrimp off with Parmesan Cheese.  James and I are both disappointed...although it was a pretty good dinner, we think the Parmesan might have made it even better.  This meal is a lot like Shrimp Scampi.  We did add a little salt & pepper for a little more flavor.  We paired it with brown rice, sauteed zucchini, bell pepper, and squash.  This is a very quick and easy recipe and it tastes pretty good.  If you try it and add the cheese, let us know how it turns out! ;-)
