I made this dish last night and my family loved it!!

Shrimp Scampi:

4 teaspoons olive oil
12 medium-size garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup dry red vermouth
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
Several drops hot pepper sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the garlic for a few seconds then add the vermouth and tomatoes. Cook 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and parsley and cook 3 minutes or until shrimp are pink. Season with hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Divide between 4 plates and serve.

I substituted canned diced tomatoes for fresh and shortened the cooking time from 5 minutes to about 3 minutes.

I served it with roasted asparagus and Italian salad.

luv2run, this sounds great. I am allergic to shrimp and usually would think to sub. scallops, but I don't have much experience cooking them. Do you think the flavors and recipe would work with scallops?

I think it would be fine with scallops. Most of the flavor comes from the garlic, tomatoes and vermouth.
