Shrimp Scampi
/1 ½ lb. large fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ tsp. salt 3 T. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced 2 green onions, chopped
¾ cup Vermouth 3 T. lemon juice
2 T. butter ¼ tsp. pepper
2 T. fresh parsley, chopped
4 cups cooked angel hair pasta, lightly buttered
Directions: Prepare pasta per directions. After draining, toss lightly with butter to
prevent pasta from sticking together.
Sprinkle shrimp with ¼ tsp. salt. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
Add shrimp, and cook until pink and firm (a few minutes). Using a slotted spoon,
remove shrimp from pan. Add garlic and onions to pan. Cook 3 minutes or until
golden brown. Add vermouth, and simmer 1-2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, butter,
and remaining salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine shrimp, parsley, pasta, and
vermouth mixture. Serve.
Comment: Very good and fast to prepare. Fresh uncooked shrimp make a
difference. Heating pre-cooked shrimp in this dish lessons flavor of sauce, and
shrimp can be tough. Feel free to add grape tomatoes, pieces of asparagus, peas or
other veggies to taste.
