Gorgeous Garlic Shrimp

I was addicted to the Real Housewives of New Jersey since the very first episode and even though Teresa comes off as a big mouthed, big hair, guidette, I couldnt help but love her. I received her cookbook for Christmas and not only is is full of really good information on Italian cooking (real Italian cooking, none of that fake stuff!), it is also full of delicious recipes, this being one of them.

My husband whipped this up real quick last night as a sort of "snack" since we had a late lunch and werent hungry. We had originally planned to serve it with rice and a veggie but ended up just making the shrimp to nibble on.
