Big K loves shrimp.
Boiled, broiled, barbecued or fried,
he'll take it any way he can get it.
I had a hankering for some garlic pasta,
so I found this recipe from Ina Garten for shrimp scampi.
Shrimp for him, pasta for me.
What's not to love?
This one has made it into our Family Recipe Book.
Shrimp Scampi
Ina Garten
3/4 lb. pasta
3 T olive oil
3 T butter (unsalted)
1 1/2 garlic, minced
salt/pepper/red pepper flakes to taste
parsley
lemon juice and zest to taste
Cook pasta according to directions.
Add oil and butter to a large saute pan. Saute garlic 1-2 minutes.
Add shrimp and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
Drain pasta, then add it to the pan.
Add lemon juice and zest and heat through.
Serves 2-4.
Enjoy!
Daisy, I too like just about any kind of seafood. Shrimp seem to be a seafood that makes it's way into many different dishes. My best way to eat shrimp is fried. Although the cocktail is good too and the salad is also great. Oh, well, it's all good. :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great shrimp scampi day.
Shrimp is so easy to turn into anything, you're right. Good to see you here. ;0D
DeleteOh, I definately love shrimp, but my husband won't eat any seafood. Maybe this could convince him?
