PASTA WITH SHRIMP SCAMPI 
1-1/2 lbs. unpeeled, medium-size fresh shrimp
1 to 2 tbsp. chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp. veg. or olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
1 tbsp. prepared mustard
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 to 3/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 lb. spaghetti, cooked
1/2 cup fresh parsley, optional
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Peel shrimp and devein. Saute peppers and garlic in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until thoroughly heated. Note: (you could and should slice open peppers to remove seeds to tone down the heat. Depending on pepper size, one large will do. You adjust to taste.)

Add shrimp and cook, stirring constantly, 2-3 minutes or just until shrimp turns pink. Remove shrimp and set aside.

Stir in white wine, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, cook over high heat 3-4 minutes. Return shrimp to skillet. Stir in butter, salt, lemon juice, cook 1-2 minutes or until combined and thoroughly heated.

Place pasta in a large serving dish, toss with shrimp mixture and parsley. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Yields 4 to 6 servings.

I credit this recipe for teaching me how to make a wonderfuly tasting scampi sauce. I use this recipe allll the time. Recently, I substituted cooking sherry for the wine/chicken broth and it was out of this world! It's good with or without the adobo but I add adobo often.

Excellent despite the fact that my location forces the use of frozen shrimp except the rare 800-mile trip to the gulf with a cooler...

I didn't have the specified pepper (with sauce) and instead used Urfa (Turkey) crushed red (actually purple) pepper. Also added 1/2 tsp. or so of prepared horseradish and a dash of coriander. Did not saute the garlic (it went in the skillet with the shrimp) and added the dried pepper with the first batch of ingredients that included a mix of chicken stock and dry white wine. Mixed with linguini instead of spaghetti.

Delicious even without fresh shrimp! Thank you!
