I followed the recipe exactly, but my shrimp scampi didn't turn out as good as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of orzo, so I used spaghetti instead. The dish still turned out great!

This dish is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth it. The flavors are amazing.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I made this dish with chicken instead. It was still very good!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had a few shrimp left over from another dish, and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I had some trouble finding green onions, so I used regular onions instead. The dish still turned out great!

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less butter and cream next time.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this shrimp scampi. The sauce was light and flavorful, and the shrimp were cooked just right.

This shrimp scampi recipe was a hit! The combination of shrimp, green onions, and orzo was delicious, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
