Shrimp Scampi

My mom is visiting, and I have been talking and entertaining all day as long as she is awake. I didn't feel like cooking too much in the kitchen, so other than the salad that I toss for the family, I made this simple, light and super flavorful shrimp scampi. Isn't it one of the easiest entrees that everybody loves?
