After experimenting with different scampi recipes, I came up with this combination of flavors. We enjoy it over a little cooked pasta, or white rice. You can perk it up a bit by adding more pepper flakes. Ingredients:
2 lbs uncooked peeled and deveined shrimp |
1 cup butter |
3 chopped green onions |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
5 minced garlic cloves |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley |
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or 1 teaspoon dried cilantro |
2 teaspoons dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. Melt butter and oil in large skillet. Stir in onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice.
2. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring often. Pat shrimp dry and add to skillet.
3. Cook stirring occasionally until shrimp turn pink (Approx. 5 minutes).
4. Blend in parsley, cilanto, basil, and lemon peel. Cook another 2 minutes, stirring often.
5. Serve alone, or over angel hair pasta or rice.
