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.

Ingredients

* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1 1/2 pounds fresh shrimp, shelled and deveined without tails
* 1/2 cup olive oil
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 shallot, chopped
* 1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
* 2 tablespoons white wine
* 2 tablespoons brandy

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly. Dredge shrimp in flour mixture.
2. In a large skillet, saute dredged shrimp in olive oil for 5 minutes over high heat. Toss shrimp often to prevent burning. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a serving dish, leaving the oil in the pan.
3. In the same pan, saute the garlic, shallot, parsley and oregano over medium heat for 3 minutes; stirring constantly. Spoon the mixture over the shrimp. Return pan to the heat. Preheat your broiler for medium heat.
4. Pour the wine and brandy into the skillet and ignite with a match or lighter. When the flames die down, stir to loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet; pour over shrimp.
5. Place the serving dish of shrimp in a preheated broiler for about 2 minutes.
