| Shrimp Scampi |
| This classic Italian - American dish is easy to prepare and very versatile. Serve it over rice, over linguini or simply from individual gratin dishes accompanied by good crusty bread with which to soak up the buttery - garlic sauce. Ingredients 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 pounds peeled shrimp, largest you can afford 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped juice of 1 lemon coarse sea salt fresh chopped parsley 2 slices Pepperidge Farm white bread, crusts removed and processed to bread crumbs Method Heat the butter and olive oil together in a sauté pan. When the foam from the butter subsides, add the shrimp and garlic at the same time, cooking until the shrimp just turn opaque, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add the lemon juice and salt to taste; toss, sprinkle with parsely and breadcrumbs. Serve immediately. |
