A Taste of the Coast: Shrimp Scampi

Sorry for the delay...Today's recipe is a delightful and easy dish: shrimp scampi. Our grocery store here had a buy one get one sale on frozen shrimp so we got them and I found this delightful recipe in my bride's cookbook. Take your taste buds to the coast and enjoy!

What you need:

1 lb of fresh or frozen medium shrimp
4 tbs minced garlic
2 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs chopped parsley fresh or dried
1/3 cup of butter
1/4 cup of dry white cooking wine
1 box of linguini

How to:
  1. Devein and peel the shells off the shrimp
  2. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat
  3. Cook garlic for 1 to 2 minutes
  4. Add shrimp, wine, and lemon juice
  5. Cook shrimp until they are pink and firm (about 1 to 2 minutes on each side)
  6. Turn off heat and add salt, pepper, and parsley
  7. Serve this dish on a bed of hot linguini noodles
Another delicious, quick, and easy meal!
Happy Cooking!
