RECIPE COLLECTION
“SHRIMP SCAMPI” IS IN:

SHRIMP SCAMPI 
24 large uncooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, leaving tails on)
4 large garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup white wine
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
Lemon wedges
bread crumbs

In a skillet, sauté a few spoons of bread crumbs, parsley and garlic in a little olive oil and butter until lightly browned. (Add garlic after a few moments so that it doesn't get brown.)

Cooks Note: Combine 1/2 cup olive oil (does not need to be extra virgin), white wine, parsley and lemon juice to make marinade. Marinate shrimp for 15-30 minutes before cooking.

Add shrimp, marinade and juice from a couple of lemon wedges and cook until shrimp are pink (a few minutes) and juices in pan are bubbling hot.

Serve shrimp with scampi sauce for dipping, and garnish with lemon wedges.
