Shrimp scampi for dummies?!?!

Shrimp scampi

If you want to serve shrimp scampi on pasta, prepare the pasta by bringing a large pot of water to the boil. Season the boiling water with a handful of kosher salt and then add the pasta. Give everything a big stir and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is as tender as you want it.

Ingredients

For the shrimp scampi:
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 best-squality 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 on pasta if desired

1 cup white wine
1/2 cup unsalted butter. (do not use margarine)
3 teaspoons minced garlic
parsley and lemon slices or wedges (for garnish) - optional
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees, farenheit.
2.Combine all ingredients in a medium casserole dish.
3.Bake, uncovered for 6 to 7 minutes, until shrimp is pink. Do NOT overcook!
4.Serve alongside a nice steak, an accompanying seafood entree, or alone with your favorite side dishes.

If you want it with pasta, then cook pasta according to package directions and serve the shrimp scampi over the cooked pasta.
