Steps:

• Discard all but 1 tablespoon oil from the skillet. Cook the shallots and garlic in the oil until soft, about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine, 1/2 cup chicken broth, and the lemon juice. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth and the cream, and simmer until sauce is reduced and thickened slightly, approximately 10 minutes more. Add the butter, and stir until melted.
• Return the shrimp to the skillet; simmer until heated through, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and Romano cheese before serving.

Remove to a plate and wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.

SHRIMP SCAMPI (MY WAY)

Steps:

• Start pasta water.
• In a large sauté pan melt butter & olive oil (low - medium heat).
• Start by adding the onions when they have some color (5 minutes or so).
• By this time the water should be almost ready.
• Add garlic and red pepper flakes to the onion, sauté for about a minute or 2. Stir not to burn. (burnt garlic YUCK must start over if you do this).
• Add pasta to the water and salt as you would.
• To the sauté pan add shrimp(if using clams and mussels you need to hold tight for a few).
• Cook the shrimp for about 3 minutes.
• Flip the shrimp.
• Keep an eye on the pasta cook till a'dente (don't forget to save some water).
• Add the lemon rind, juice and wine.
• Cook about 4 more minutes or until done.
• Add pasta water to thin sauce to how thin you like.
• Dump drained pasta in a big bowl (this is for the shrimp and the clams or mussels).
• When the shrimp is done, dump all over the pasta.
• Serve YUMMMY.
• O.K. now if you are using the clams and mussels don't add the shrimp. Just skip the whole shrimp thing. After the garlic softens add the lemon rind and lemon juice and wine and pasta water, bring to a boil. Add the clams and or mussels, cover and steam till they open. Throw any unopened ones. Dump all over pasta.
