Recipe of the Week: Creamy Shrimp Scampi

For my birthday, Mom and Kenny took me and Brian to dinner at the Tin Room Bar in Burien, Washington.  Their menu was classic pub/comfort food and I just couldn't resist the Shrimp Scampi.  

The sauce was amazing and full of garlic, cream and white wine.  I am not sure if this can be duplicated for I am going to have to head back soon for a second helping.  In the meantime, here is a recipe that I found that it fairly close to their preparation.

Enjoy!
