Shrimp Scampi

This was a huge hit with guests and the family! Mom was drinking the sauce out of the bowl with a spoon. Even better the next day!

5 garlic cloves
1 stick butter
4 green onions
1 lemon
3 Tbs Olive Oil
Shredded Parm
Half pack cream cheese- cubed
1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp
Fresh Parsley
Linguini or other pasta

Melt butter in a large pan. Saute garlic and green onion. Add Shrimp. Saute a few minutes and ad the juice from the lemon. Saute a few more minutes and cubes of cream cheese. Saute till melted. Ad up to 3 tbs of olive oil to make the sauce a good consistancy. When Shrimp are cooked ( 5-6 minutes of total saute') sprinkle shredded parm across the top and toss one more time in the pan. Serve shrimp with a scoop of the sauce over your favorite pasta and add more cheese on top and some fresh parsley if desired.
