About Zesty Shrimp With Garlic Rosemary Sauce

This is a rich, creamy dish with the flavor of shrimp swimming in garlic, pepper and rosemary. The leftovers are great in omelets stuffed with the shrimp and smothered in sauce.

This is great for date night.
Plating is what makes this dish fun because you both eat from the same plate.

I love garlic and use lots of it in my cooking; I buy it in big jars already peeled.
Sometimes when I make this I add scallops and/or lobster.
Plus, the leftovers make great omelets stuffed with shrimp and smothered in the sauce …
