Note: This recipe appears in the WW New Complete Cookbook. I already cooked this classic dish South Beach style and I like the Weight Watchers version better because of the chicken broth, lemon juice and the amount of garlic. The combination of these particular flavors make this dish so flavorfu and comforting. You can also serve a small serving of pasta with the scampi for that restaurant quality meal. This dish can also be made in 30 minutes or less so you won't have to leave your home to make this International classic.
