I love anything with butter.
That includes starches, and seafood.
My husband on the other hand is very picky when it comes to seafood. If it’s not Salmon, shrimp, or tuna he wants no part of it. Until I made this Crab scampi.
I was pretty persistent telling my hubby he had to try this. I couldn’t let him not know the amazing flavors of this scampi. Let’s just say hubby finished his serving, and he loved it!. 🙂

December 31, 2010 at 4:30 amMy husband will not touch seafood, but I love it, and I also love butter. I have never heard of Irish butter, but this dish sounds so yummy that I hope you don’t mind if I steal it to try out on my family this weekend.
