Shrimp Scampi With Fried Bread Food

CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine or broth, salt, red pepper flakes and plenty of black pepper and bring to a simmer. Let wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
• Add shrimp and sauté until they just turn pink, 2 to 4 minutes depending upon their size. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice and serve over pasta or accompanied by crusty bread.

SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH GARLIC TOASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes and cook 1 to 2 minutes; remove from the heat. Brush both sides of the bread with some of the garlic mixture and arrange on a baking sheet. Broil the bread until toasted, about 1 minute per side. Divide the bread among 4 bowls.
• Place the skillet with the remaining garlic mixture over high heat. Add the shrimp and toss to coat, then stir in the wine and lemon zest and juice. Transfer to the broiler and cook until the shrimp are pink, about 3 minutes. Transfer the shrimp with a slotted spoon to the bowls.
• Return the skillet to high heat and boil the cooking liquid until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and chives. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and simmer 1 to 2 more minutes; pour over the shrimp. Serve with lemon wedges.

BAKED SHRIMP SCAMPI

Steps:

• Place shrimp into a saucepan, cover with water to a depth of 2 inches over shrimp, and bring to a boil. Cover pan and cook until shrimp are pink, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.
• Combine butter, white wine, lemon juice, parsley, cayenne pepper, and garlic in a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Place casserole dish in oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• When butter is melted, lightly toss shrimp in butter mixture until coated. Sprinkle bread crumbs over shrimp.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs are lightly golden brown, about 15 minutes.

SHRIMP SCAMPI

Steps:

• Pat shrimp dry with paper towels (I like to butterfly them). Set aside.

• Stir in green onion, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and salt. Cook until bubbly.
• Add shrimp to pan and cook, stirring frequently until shrimp are cooked (about 4 minutes - depending upon the size of the shrimp).
• Stir in parsley, lemon peel, and hot sauce.
• Good served with rice pilaf, green salad and French bread. If you are a real big "bread dipper", you can always double the "sauce" portion of this recipe.
