- taste.
- Serve with Cappellini Pasta or any other of your favorite herb flavored pastas.
- Add fresh toasted garlic bread for sopping up sauce.
- Enjoy!!
Notes
Note: Piccata sauce and the sauce used to make Shrimp Scampi are very similar so you will notice how close it is to that recipe other than the addition of capers and a
few other small changes.
