Shrimp Scampi serves 4 ish

My daughter Sandi loved this dish when she was a kid and asked me to put it up on the blog, so for Sandi, here it is. I try to keep it simple. As always DON’T OVERCOOK THE SHRIMP! Stop on the way home and get as many shrimp as you want for this meal. Look at the size and figure how many per serving.
I like to keep a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer. I either get them in the frozen seafood section of the super market or if there are big ones at a good price on display in the fresh section I ask them if they get them frozen and if they have bags that are still frozen. They usually come in 2 or 5 lb. bags. I buy a 2 lb bag or get 2 or 3 lbs. that are still frozen. Sometimes you will find them already deveined so all you have to do is peel them. Then they are there in my freezer waiting for me. I just put them in some water with a dash of salt and in about ten minutes they are ready to be shelled and deveined .


Salad is whatever you want. Spinach or lettuce and tomato or both of ‘um together or some romaine lettuce with some croutons.

Pasta Aglio e Olio (literally means garlic and oil in Italian) You can multi task and do the pasta the same time that you are doing the shrimp. If the aglio e olio is done before the scampi just remove from the heat until you return the shrimp to the scampi pan and toss the shrimp pan and the pasta pan (separately) for a minute or two before serving

About 1/3 of a pound of pasta (I like to use penne)
About 4 cups of water
1-2 cloves garlic skinned and minced or just chopped, it’s up to you.
About 1/4 cup of good (virgin or extra virgin) olive oil
1 tbsp basil
small pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Put the water in a pot with a dash of salt. When it comes to a boil turn the flame down a little and add the pasta. Stir until your sure the pasta isn’t going to stick together then stir pretty often.
Skin and slice the garlic
Put a medium size frying pan on the stove with low heat. When the pan is hot to the touch add the oil then the garlic then the basil and red pepper if you are using it.. As soon as the garlic is translucent turn off the burner or, if electric, remove from the burner. You don’t want it brown just translucent. When the pasta is soft, but not quite done drain and add to the pan.





As many Large Shrimp as you are hungry for, Peeled And Deveined
3Cloves Of Garlic, Minced
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
3 Tablespoons Butter
2 ish Tablespoons Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons Dry White Wine
Salt & Pepper
Dash Of Red Pepper Flakes
2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley, Chopped or 1 of dried
1 Tbsp. dried basil
1 seeded and diced plum tomato for garnish (optional)




Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add the shrimp. Cook just a minute or two, until the shrimp turns pink and is just cooked through. Remove the cooked shrimp from the pan, and continuing the rest of the shrimp until they are all cooked. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the garlic cook on medium heat until the garlic is translucent, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and wine. Whisk in the remaining butter and mix well into the lemon and wine mixture. Season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and parsley. Return the shrimp to the pan, and toss gently so the shrimp are coated with the sauce. Serve immediately, using the chopped tomato as garnish if desired.
