My Mom saved this for me from the Sun-Sentinel, 11/1/07. Ingredients:
2 ounces pancetta, thinly sliced |
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 1/3 lbs large shrimp, shelled, deveined |
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped |
1 -2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Roll the pancetta into a cylinder, then cut into thin shreds.
2. Heat the oil in a 10 nonstick skillet over medium heat.
3. When hot, add the pancetta and fry until crisp; transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
4. Pour off all but 2 teaspoons of the fat in the pan and heat on medium-high heat.
5. Add the shrimp and saute 2 minutes and now add the basil and saute another minute, or until shrimp is just cooked through.
6. Toss shrimp in pancetta, lemon juice and pepper; taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
7. Serve immediately.
