Nick’s Picks: Shrimp Scampi
Ingredients
- About a pound of raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1/2 a pound of Angel Hair Pasta
- 3-4 Roma (plum) tomatoes sliced
- About a Tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
- About a Tablespoon Fresh basil chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1/4 Cup White cooking wine
- Parmesan Cheese if desired
Method-
If the shrimp is frozen, thaw and dry.
Cook pasta for 5-7 minutes in boiling water. Drain and cool. Toss with oil to coat and refrigerate.
In a sauté pan, heat olive oil. Sauté garlic for about 2 minutes being careful not to burn. Add shrimp and cook on each side for about a minute. Add white wine and flame so alcohol is burned off.
Add tomatoes and reduce liquid for about a minute. Add basil, salt and pepper and butter. Remove from heat. Stir in butter until melted. Add in pasta until hot. Finish with Parmesan cheese if desired!
