Begin by showcasing shrimp in a traditional scampi with garlic, butter and herbs.

I bought this for my parents' anniversary this year. They absolutely LOVED it. They would not stop talking about how much they enjoyed Chef Ricky's teaching, professionalism, and the relaxed/fun atmosphere he provided. If you are looking for a gift or a fun activity I highly recommend you stop searching and reserve a spot now!
