Nothing fancy just a delicious new recipe(for them) of shrimp scampi and a tossed salad.
Traditional shrimp scampi is a fall back but I’ve made this recipe several times and it has been one my hubby and I favorites.
Here’s my ingredients:
2lb. Large cooked frozen shrimp (I thaw shrimp and remove tails in between layers of paper Towels) in refrigerator overnight
1stick butter
1/4 to 1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large cloves minced garlic
1tsp. Dried parsley
1 cup jarred marinara sauce(I user Rao or Victoria brand)
Red pepper flakes optional
1lb. Your favorite pasta. (I’ve used spaghetti, tagliatelle and Angel hair pastas)
In extra large pan(skillet) place butter and olive oil and melt slowly. Once oil and butter have melted well add garlic and parsley. Simmer slowly until you can smell the aroma of the garlic.
Add shrimp. Make sure to pat shrimp well
to remove any wet feeling).
Sauté shrimp in butter-oil mixture just until warm. Remove shrimp onto a platter and cover.
Add marinara to butter-oil mixture and sauté until it starts slowly slightly bubble, stirring constantly.
In a separate pot cook pasta according to directions. Before draining cooked pasta reserve I cup pasta water,
Once pasta is drained add about 1/4 to 3/4 cup pasta water to marinara/butter oil sauce stirring until
heated.
Toss well. Add shrimp and toss cooked shrimp to coat well.
***Add some pepper flakes to give the meal a little bite if you would like.
