Simple Shrimp Scampi-serves 2 (with leftovers!)
-Half a stick of salted butter.
-3-4 table spoons of extra virgin olive oil.
-16-20 shrimp peeled and de-veined (you can also use cooked shrimp, just skip shrimp cooking process).
-2-4 cloves of garlic.
-1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
-Italian seasoning (to taste).
-Crushed red pepper (to taste).
-Black pepper (to taste).
-1 lb of angel hair or spaghetti.
* Boil water, cook pasta while making sauce. Strain and set aside.
* In a large pan add oil and melt the butter on medium heat.
* Once melted, place shrimp flat in pan, and continue to cook on medium heat.
* Cook until pink, turning once halfway through.
* Once shrimp is pretty much cooked, add seasoning and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Stirring frequently.
* Serve over pasta (you can pour over pasta or toss pasta in scampi sauce, I like to pour!)
* Add Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
Note-
· You won’t need salt because were using salted butter, if using unsalted butter ad salt to taste.
· In all recipes I am going to write “to taste” for the seasonings, unless it is a large amount of seasoning or the amount is crucial to the recipe.
Enjoy!
