This was really good, nice and fresh and light. Also one of the easiest meals I've prepared. I used fresh lemon juice and a handful of fresh basil leaves. This will be my new go-to quick seafood pasta dish.

This was good, a nice change from regular scampi. I cut the olive oil in half but otherwise made it as written.
