Scampi v2.0

Thursday night we cooked our first meal at home after the holidays, and made Scampi v2.0 from Alton Brown (p. 127). Very easy and good.

With steamed broccoli & garlic.

Software:
2 cloves garlic
2 tbl. finely chopped parsley
2 tbl. olive oil
1 lb. jumbo shrimp (headless)
2 ripe Roma tomoatoes, seeded and diced [I never seed tomatoes]
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tbl. butter
Juice of half a lemon

Hardware:
Sauté pan

Application: Sautéing

Chop the garlic togethe with the parsley until it almost reaches a paste like consistency.

Heat the sauté pan and, when hot, add the oil. Add the shrimp and toss. When halfway cooked, about 1½ minutes, add the tomatoes and toss for 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Add the garlic and parsley mixture, the salt, pepper, butter, and lemon juice and toss one last time. Turn out onto a plate and serve.
Yield: 2 servings
