Shrimp Scampi
Though a tad ashamed to admit it, I didn't even try shrimp until my 20's when my boyfriend, now husband, introduce me to it. I was a country girl from Alabama, and he was a city boy from Los Angeles. My tastebuds were about to undergo a monumental shift. My current love of all types of food can be traced back to this time of discovery, and I'm so happy it happened or I wouldn't know the joy of shrimp scampi. This dish is so very easy to make, tastes delicious, and takes less than 30 minutes. It's a great summertime meal. I serve it with linguini when I want something a bit more substantial and it is fabulous. My recipe comes from the Joy of Cookingcookbook. Ingredients (Serves 4) 1 1/2 to 2lbs of extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1/2 cup extra virgen olive oil 1 tbsp minced garlic plus 1tsp more for adding at the end of cooking period 1/4 cup fresh minced parsley plus a little more for finishing 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 1/2lb of linguini Cook linguini according to package directions. Rinse and pat dry the shrimp.
