Garlicky Old Bay Shrimp


This garlicky old bay shrimp is awesome!  It is a play on shrimp scampi but with old bay seasoning.  If you are from Maryland, you always have old bay seasoning!  I served this garlicky old bay shrimp with a lemon pappardelle pasta from Trader Joe's and it was perfection.  If you don't have this pasta, a linguine or fettucine pasta would be great too.  I just loved the garlicky old bay sauce tossed with the pasta.  Not only is this dish delicious but it is quick and easy, perfect for a weeknight meal.  Enjoy!
