Shrimp Scampi

I've made this shrimp scampi from allrecipes a few times before, the first time was actually for Christmas dinner last year.  When I told my husband there was mustard in it, he blanched, but has since become the biggest fan of mustard in shrimp scampi.

When I made it tonight, it came out of the oven looking so beautiful; the shrimp were perfectly pink and curled.  I served it over spaghetti, and with steamed carrots and broccoli, which was also delicious with the scampi sauce.

And, did I mention how easy this is to make?  Did I also mention that not only the three year old, but the nine month old ate this as well?
