Olive Garden's Shrimp Scampi

I made this recipe twice. Not because it was that great, but I kind of failed the first time. It was one of those that should have gone really smoothly but something was just off that night after work. My cheap white wine was so old it was bad and I forgot to shell the shrimp so the flavors didn't really soak in well and, yeah, it was just a mess. Like I said, if was an off night.

So I made a second attempt and still wasn't that impressed. The pasta is bland since it's not soaked in the flavoring that the shrimp is and overall, it just doesn't have that great of a taste. Doug didn't mind it, but Tyler and I were not fans. Maybe you can tell me how to make it better?

Sorry the photo isn't that pretty. We were all
tired and hungry. Long day.
