Liamsaunt's Shrimp Scampi

Last night I attempted to make Liamsaunt's shrimp scampi recipe. I still need to do it again, to get it perfect, but I cannot believe how EXTRA YUMMY GOOD this is!!!
I used shrimp I had in the freezer (peeled, deveined, uncooked w/ tails on) but next time I will be getting fresh shrimp w/ no tails. I also think I didn't put in enough Basil. And because I only had 1 lb. of shrimp (recipe calls for 1-1/2 lb.) I had a little too much pasta. But man-oh-man... you have to try this!! You'd have to pay at least $30 - $40 at a restaurant on STJ for this dish, and it's super easy to make! If I can do it, I think just about anyone can do it!
I can't wait to try it again with all the right proportions.

I am doing the grilled shrimp tonight because I didn't get to the grocery store in time yesterday.

Here's the shrimp with coconut milk. I made some modifications based on what I had. I had less than I thought! LOL
Had no fish spice or cayenne so I used chipotle powder.
I added scallions and lemon grass to my milk. I removed the lemon grass before serving. Also used a little hot chili oil in the milk and when I served it.
Didn't have a jalapeno so I used some red pepper flakes. And lastly I chose arugula instead of bok choy. Served with a multi grained sourdough bread and a bottle of Kim Crawford Saviugnon Blanc. I must say this was a fabulous meal!
We even had candle light!

I think you will enjoy it. We sure did. Oh and I did use light coconut milk. I had gotten a few cans at Trader Joe's having no idea what I would do with them. Now I know
