Lemony shrimp scampi with farfalle

When I’m in doubt of what to make for dinner this is one of my favorite meals.

I have found using a little lemon either fresh or lemon juice, paprika, parsley, minced garlic, cheese and a little either vegetable or chicken broth really adds depth to this meal.

The ingredients are listed below.

Enjoy!

1lb. Cleaned and deveined large cooked shrimp

1 stick butter

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tsp. Paprika 

1/4 cup dried parsley

3 cloves minced garlic

1/4 cup lemon juice

1lb. Farfalle cooked a’dente (reserve 1/2 cup water)

1/4 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Place butter in a large sauté pan.  Add olive oil and garlic.  Simmer slowly until garlic starts to simmer

And is fragrant.   Add lemon juice, then chicken broth and shrimp.   Stir gently .  Add cooked farfalle. If  farfalle appears dry add chicken broth to moisten. Add Parmesan cheese and serve. 

Note:   most of my herbs I use with a heavy hand.  I love good flavor.  You’ll know it’s going to be good when your house smells awesome!

Salad was our side.

Romaine, cucumber, tomato, sweet onion,dried parsley, salt, pepper, virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Toss well and serve cold!
