How do you make Shrimp Scampi sauce like Carrows?

shrimp scampi
Lotus asked:

I love their thin, milky, white sauce serving with the pasta and capers. I'm wondering how can I make the sauce like that. I have searched for shrimp scampi, but none of them show anything like that one I had at Carrows. Can you help me find that recipe?????? Thanks a lot!
